Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P.
function being deactivated.
Refer to the information on
the “Electronic stability program:
E.S.P.” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check E.S.P.”
appears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The ‘traction control deselected’ mes -
sage is displayed on the instrument
panel along with warning light A to
inform you.
Disabling the function also disables
the E.S.P. function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati -
cally when the ignition is switched on or
when a speed of approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function
when travelling above a threshold of
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Tyre pressures
TyRE pRESSURE
The tyre pressure is indicated on
label A affixed to the edge of the driv -
er’s door. Open the door to read it.
B : dimension of the tyres fitted to the
vehicle.
C: intended driving speed.
D: recommended pressure for optimis-
ing fuel consumption.
Note: driving comfort may be altered. E: front tyre pressure.
F: rear tyre pressure.
G
: tyre pressure for the emergency
spare wheel.
Tyre safety and use of snow
chains
Refer to the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5 for the servicing con -
ditions and, depending on the ver -
sion, the use of chains.
Special note
For vehicles used fully laden
( m a x i m u m p e r m i s s i b l e a l l - u p
weight) and towing a trailer. The
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 case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to 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.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– 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 wh\
eel.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi -
cal to the original one.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-
nering.
– Fitting the damaged wheel into the emergency spare wheel housing will reduce
the vehicle’s ground clearance: avoid driving over any obstacles.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.

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).

Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum road
holding.
Warning: These tyres sometimes have
a specific direction of rotation and a
maximum speed index which may be
lower than the maximum speed of your
vehicle.Use in winter
Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which
are larger than those originally fitted to
the vehicle.
Special features of ver -
sions fitted with 165/65
R15 tyres
If you wish to fit studded
tyres, you must use special equip-
ment.
Consult an approved dealer.
TYRES (3/3)
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
