Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
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 wear warning strips 1
that are indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
t yre 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 wear indicators,
they
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep,
resulting in poor roadholding 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.

tyre pressuresAdhere 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). 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).
never deflate a hot tyre.
special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.Fitting new tyres
emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
tyres (2/3)
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).
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:
– 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.

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.
snow or w inter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe -
sion.
w arning: 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.
studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation. It is neces -
sary to observe the speed specified by
current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
tyres (3/3)
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Chains may be fitted, provided that
they are specific chains. We would
advise you to consult an approved
Dealer.
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.
changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure moni -
tor may take several min -
utes following driving to cor-
rectly determine the positions of the
wheels and the pressure values,
check the tyre pressures following
any operation.

additional lights
If you wish to fit fog lights or long range
headlights to your vehicle, consult an
approved Dealer.
Any operation on (or modi -
fication to) the electrical
system must be performed
by an approved dealer
since an incorrect connection might
damage the electrical equipment
(harness, components and in partic-
ular the alternator). In addition, your
Dealer has all the parts required for
fitting these units.
Front fog lights 1However, because the front bumper
needs to be removed, you are advised
to have your bulbs replaced by an
approved dealer.
The bulbs are under pres -
sure and can break when
replaced.
