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 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.
Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
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.
TYRES (1/3)
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.
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.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
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;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow
chains.
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 (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps identical to the originals and
screw them down fully.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
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).

Remove the fuse using tweezers 2, lo-
cated on the cover.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Fuses
Check the fuse in question
and replace it, if neces-
sary, by a fuse of the same
rating.
If a fuse is fitted with too high a
rating, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the
event of an item of equipment using
an excessive amount of current.
Fuse box 1
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Depending on the vehicle, open the
cover to the right of the steering wheel
or the glove box.
To identify the fuses, refer to the fuse
allocation sticker (shown on the follow -
ing page).

Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a

BATTERY: troubleshooting (3/4)
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap-
proved Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion and
charge the battery in a well-venti -
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
If your vehicle is to be left stationary for
a relatively long time, disconnect the
battery or have it recharged regularly,
particularly during cold weather. It will
then be necessary, with the engine run-
ning, to move the steering wheel slowly,
from lock to lock and to reprogram the
electronic equipment with a memory
feature, radio, etc. The battery should
be stored in a cool and dry location pro-
tected from frost.
Note: if you have disconnected or re -
charged a battery, move the steering
wheel slowly from lock to lock to reset
the system.
Have the battery’s charge status
checked regularly:
–
especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving
in town;
– when the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases .
In winter, only use the electrical
equipment that is really necessary;
– finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a
result of certain permanent electrical
consumers such as the clock, after-
sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed. In this case, it
is advisable to have your vehicle fitted
with a battery which has an increased
nominal capacity. Contact an approved
Dealer.Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon -
nect both battery leads starting with
the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer for
the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-main -
tained battery will have a long and
useful life and enable you to start the
vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.

Start the engine as you would normally.
As soon as it is running, disconnect
leads A and B in the reverse order (5-
4-3-2).Attach the positive lead A on support 1
to terminal 2 (+) of the discharged bat-
tery, then to terminal 3 (+) of the bat -
tery supplying the current.
Attach negative lead B to terminal 4
(–) of the battery supplying the current,
then to terminal 5 (–) of the discharged
battery.
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting your
vehicle from another vehicle’s battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (large) from
an approved Dealer or, if you already
have jump leads, ensure that they are
in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply -
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
