Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. This
should be checked frequently, and im-
mediately if you notice even the slight-
est loss in braking efficiency.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “MIN” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc wear your-
self, you should obtain the document
explaining the checking procedure from
our network or from the manufacturer’s
website.
LEVELS (2/2)
When working in the engine
compartment, certain parts
may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan can
come on at any moment.

When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
They must: either be identical to
those fitted originally or conform
to those recommended by your
authorised dealer.
Label A
Open the driver’s door to read it.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

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.

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.

TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures. 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).
Please refer to the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4. 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.
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.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
 on
the instrument panel comes on. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in chap-
ter 2.

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.

pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
Simultaneously press at the loca-
tion7 and the unlocking button 6 on
the lever.
