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 message “‘ESP deactivated” ap -
pears to inform you, accompanied by
warning light A.
Disabling the function also disables the
ESP function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
Traction control is automatically reacti-
vated when the ignition is switched on.
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault,
the message “Check ESP” is displayed
on the instrument panel display along
with the
ú warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
If the warning light comes on accom -
panied by the “ESP deactivated” mes -
sage when the engine is started, turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock to
reinitialise the system.

– run the cable across and reposition
lock 4;
– lie the wheel down, with valve 5
facing the ground;
– in the luggage compartment, use the
tool to completely to rewind the re -
taining cable. Advice
Check the pressure of the emergency
spare wheel regularly.
note:
The bolts for the aluminium wheel may
be used to secure the steel emergency
spare wheel.
using the emergency spare
wheel
The “tyre pressure monitor” function
does not monitor the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel and/or the information
display). Refer to the information on the
“Tyre pressure monitor” in Section 2.
Special note
Using an emergency spare wheel may
disrupt certain functions (automatic
gearbox, etc.).
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
four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emer -
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– Replace 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 ve -
hicle usually runs. Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when corner-
ing.
– If you need to use snow chains,
fit the emergency spare wheel to
the rear axle and check the tyre
pressure.

use in winter
– chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
Fitting new tyres
tYreS (3/3)
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to
tyres. Consult an approved dealer.
Special note on versions fitted
with 18” wheels: snow chains
may not be fitted.
If you wish to fit snow chains, you
must use special equipment.
Consult your approved dealer.
– Snow or winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains maximum
adhesion.
n B: We would point out that these
tyres may sometimes have:
– a direction of travel;
– a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
– 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, as a minimum, be
fitted to the two wheels on the front
axle.
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.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– 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.
