Heating levels
The use of heating or air conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
Before using the vehicle, opt for “pro -
grammable heating” mode to maintain
vehicle range (please refer to the infor-
mation in “Heating, air conditioning pro-
gramming” in Section 3).
When driving, minimise the use of heat-
ing and air conditioning and opt for
using the additional heating (please
refer to the information on “Additional
heating” in Section 3).
t yres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci -
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When driving, use tyres made by the
same manufacturer, with the same di -
mensions, type and structure as the
original tyres. The use of non-regula -
tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle
range.
Please see the information on “Tyre
pressure” in Section 4.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve -
hicle.

– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
adapter 6 onto the valve;
– connect adapter 8 to the accessories
socket on the dashboard of the vehi-
cle;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 4);
note: while the bottle is emptying (ap-
proximately 30 seconds), pressure
gauge 4 will briefly indicate a pressure
of 6 bar, then the pressure will drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence

Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Once the tyre is inflated correctly:
– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle
again;
– disconnect adapter 8; –
affix the driving recommendation
label 9 to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– store the kit;
– at the end of this initial inflation op -
eration, air will still escape from the
tyre; you must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole;
– start immediately and drive at be -
tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles, stop and check
the pressure;
– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it; otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.
n ote: after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved Dealer to re -
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.
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 label, 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
replaced.
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.
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
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.

Tyres
tyres (1/3)
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 tread wear indica -
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
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 eroded
to the level of the warning strips,
they
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
profile is no more than 1.6 mm deep
and this causes poor road holding
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.
When they need to be re -
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
t yres 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.

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, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PsI).

This practice is not recommended.
emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
t yre pressuresRespect the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). Check
them at least once a month and before
a long journey (refer to the label on the
edge of the driver’s door).
Please refer to the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4.
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
pressures according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures”).
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
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
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.
