BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Withdraw the vegetable falls (resin, film
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

1
Never leave tools unse-
cured in the vehicle: there
is a risk that they may be
thrown about during brak-
ing. After use, check that all the
tools are correctly clipped into the
tool kit, then position it correctly in
its housing: there is a risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.

5.3
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
The kit is only approved for
inflating the tyres of the ve-
hicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-
dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-
lets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.
A
B
The kit repairs tyres when
tread A has been dam-
aged by objects smaller
than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre
sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and re-
paired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
When taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt
due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.

5.4
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
boot or underneath the luggage com-
partment carpet.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 3 to
the container’s inlet 8;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 8 to the compressor
from the container recess 7;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter 1;
– adapter 2 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);

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.
8
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 6.
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.

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.
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 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.
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.

5.8
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.
NB:
The use of snow tyres, winter tyres or
studded tyres significantly reduces the
vehicle range.
TYRES (3/3)
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.
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 Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
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.
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.
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.
