A decal with tyre pressure data is locatedin the driver’s door opening.
Check and set the tyre pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and whenthe tyres are cold.
Note:Check your tyre pressures regularlyto optimise fuel economy.
Note:Use only approved wheel and tyresizes. Using other sizes could damage yourvehicle and will make the National TypeApproval invalid.
Note:If you change the diameter of thetyres from that fitted at the factory, thespeedometer may not display the correctspeed. Take your vehicle to an authoriseddealer to have the engine managementsystem reprogrammed.
Note:If you intend to change the size of thewheels from that fitted at the factory, checkthe suitability with an authorised dealer.
TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre.Therefore you will have an emergency kitwhich will only repair one flat tyre.
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General Information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent oftyre damage, some tyres can only bepartially sealed or not sealed at all.Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehiclehandling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tyre, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tyre.
Do not try to seal damage other thanthat located within the visible treadof the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to thetyre’s sidewall.
The kit seals most tyre punctures [with adiameter of up to 1/4 inch (sixmillimetres)] to temporarily restoremobility.
Observe the following rules when using thekit:
•Drive with caution and avoid makingsudden steering or driving manoeuvres,especially if your vehicle is heavilyloaded or you are towing a trailer.
•The kit will provide you with anemergency temporary repair, enablingyou to continue your journey to the nextvehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive amaximum distance of 125 miles(200 kilometres).
•Do not exceed a maximum speed of50 mph (80 km/h).
•Keep the kit out of the reach ofchildren.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -22°F (–30°C)and +158°F (+70°C).
Using the Kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended whilein use.
Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10 minutes.

WARNING
When using winter tyres on yourvehicle, you must make sure that youfit the correct type of wheel nuts.
If winter tyres are used, make sure that thetyre pressures are correct. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtyres. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles With Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 103).
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtyre pressure warning. It will notinflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. This may causethe tyres to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by an authoriseddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tyre. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtyre pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 62).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tyre pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 164).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Apart from a too low tyre pressure or adamaged tyre, the following situations canaffect the rolling circumference:
•Vehicle load is uneven.
•When using a trailer or travelling up anddown an incline.
•Using snow chains.
•Driving on soft surfaces such as snowor mud.
Note:The system will still functioncorrectly, but there may be an increaseddetection time.
System Reset
Note:Do not reset the system when yourvehicle is moving.
Note:You should reset the systemfollowing any adjustment to the tyrepressures or any changing of tyres.
1.Switch the ignition on.
2.Using the information display control,navigate to Menu > Vehicle settings> Deflation detection.
3.Press and hold the OK button untilconfirmation appears.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Wheel Nuts
You can obtain a replacement lockingwheel nut key and replacement lockingwheel nuts from your dealer using thereference number certificate.
Vehicles With a Spare Wheel
If the spare wheel is exactly the same typeand size as the other fitted road wheels,you can replace the existing road wheelwith the spare wheel and continue to drivein the normal manner.
If the spare wheel is different to the otherroad wheels, it will carry a yellow label withthe appropriate speed limit.
Refer to the following information beforechanging the road wheel.
WARNINGS
Drive the shortest possible distances.
Do not fit more than one spare wheelon your vehicle at any one time.
Do not carry out any tyre repairs ona spare wheel.
Do not drive through an automaticcar wash.
If you are unsure what type of sparewheel you have do not exceed 80km/h (50 mph).
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtyres. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
The ground clearance of your vehiclemay be reduced. Take care whenparking next to a kerb.
Note:Your vehicle may exhibit someunusual driving characteristics.
Vehicle Jack
WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with yourvehicle should only be used whenchanging a wheel in emergencysituations.
Before using the vehicle jack, checkthat it is not damaged or deformedand that the thread is lubricated andfree from foreign matter.
Never place anything between thejack and the ground, or the jack andyour vehicle.

Regional mode ON: This prevents randomalternative frequency switches whenneighbouring regional networks are notcarrying the same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a largercoverage area if neighbouring regionalnetworks are carrying the sameprogramming, but can cause randomalternative frequency switches if they arenot.
