ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
–

N
ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–

D
o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–

It
is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–

W
hen towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not
really needed.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
(“see and be seen”).
–

U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –

A
void using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
–

insuf
ficient pressure,
–

using non-recommended tyres.

maximum speed must be limited
to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre
pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
Refer to the information on “Weights”
in Section 6.
When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type
and profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those recommended by your approved
dealer.

In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is
safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel which is different to the f\
our other wheels:
–

Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same v
ehicle.
–

Repla
ce the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identical to the original one.
–

When
this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed
indicated on the label on the wheel.
–

Fitting
an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when cornering.
–

If

you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

Tyre inflation kit
TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/3)
The kit repairs tyres with
tread A
damaged by ob-
jects smaller than 4 mm. It
cannot repair all types of
puncture, such as cuts of more than
4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall
B etc.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and re-
paired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
When replacing a tyre repaired with
this kit, you must consult a special-
ist. When driving, vibration may be
felt due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.The kit is only approved for
inflating the tyres of the ve-
hicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-
dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-
lets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.

door), otherwise contact an ap-
proved dealer: repair is not possible.
Note : after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com-
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals and fully
tightened.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed 48
mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which
you must affix in a prominent posi-
tion on the dashboard, reminds you
of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
tyre pressure kit will need to be re-
placed.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver ’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

base plate (slightly inwards under the
vehicle). Place a plank of wood under
the base plate if on soft ground.
Changing a wheel
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if neces-
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for au-
tomatic transmissions). Ask the pas-
sengers to leave the vehicle and to
keep away from traffic.
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.

Fit it so that
you press downwards rather than pull-
ing upwards.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
TYRES (1/3)
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
Dealer.Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips
1
which are indicators moulded into
the tread at several points. When the tyre tread has been worn
to the level of the warning strips, they
become visible
2: it is then neces-
sary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep
at most, resulting in poor road hold-
ing on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry.
In this case, have the condition of
these checked by an approved
dealer.

“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–

poor roadholding;
–


r

isk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
–

it

may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–

It

may change the way it handles
when cornering;
–

I

t may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–

i

t may affect the use of snow
chains.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com-
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals.
