E00506500393
The turn-signal lamps flash when the switch is operated (with
the ignition switch “ON”). At the same time, the turn signal
indicator flashes.
CAUTION
!●If the warning lamp stays on or does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned “ON”, it indicates
that the automatic headlamp levelling device is not
functioning.
We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
1- Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use position (1). The lever will
return automatically when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not return after corner-
ing. This occurs when the steering wheel is turned only
slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by hand.
2- Lane-change signals
When changing lanes, use position (2). It will return to the
neutral position when released.

Vehicle with aluminium wheels
With a normal wheel, tighten the wheel nuts until the
flanges of the wheel nuts touch the wheel and the wheel is
not loose.With a compact spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with
the seats of the wheel holes and the wheel is not loose.
NOTE●Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the spare wheel,
but return to the original wheel and tyre as soon as possi-
ble.
●If all four aluminium wheels are changed to steel wheels,
use tapered nuts.

Snow tyres
E01002000725
The use of snow tyres is recommended for driving on snow and
ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same
size and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50 % are no longer suitable for use
as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.NOTE●The laws and regulations concerning snow tyres (driving
speed, required use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and follow
the laws and regulations in the area you intend to drive.
●If flange nuts are used on your vehicle, change to tapered
nuts when steel wheels are used.
CAUTION
!●If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the correct
direction of rotation, swap the front and rear wheels
on the left hand side of the vehicle and the front and
rear wheels on the right hand side of the vehicle sep-
arately. Keep each tyre on its original side of the
vehicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels
will turn when the vehicle moves forward. Any tyre
whose arrow points in the wrong direction will not
perform to its full potential.
Front
CAUTION
!●Avoid the combined use of different types of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect vehicle per-
formance and safety.
CAUTION
!●Observe permissible maximum speed for your snow
tyres and the legal speed limit.
