Tyre pressure
TyRE pRESSURE
The tyre pressure is indicated on la-
bel A affixed to the edge of the driver’s door. Open the door to read it.
B: dimension of the tyres fitted to the vehicle.
C: tyre pressures for the front wheels (non-motorway).
D: tyre pressures for the rear wheels (non-motorway).
E: tyre pressures for the front wheels (motorway).
F: tyre pressures for the rear wheels (motorway).
G: tyre pressure for the emergency spare wheel.
H: emergency spare wheel tyre dimen- sion if different to the four tyres fitted to the vehicle.
Tyre safety and use of snow chains
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in Section 5 for the servicing con- ditions and, depending on the ver- sion, the use of chains.
Special note
For vehicles used fully laden (maximum permissible all-up weight) and towing a trailer. The maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure in- creased by 0.2 bar.
Refer to the information on “Weights” in Section 6.
When they need to be replaced, 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.

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that is smaller than the oth\
er wheels.
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed
indicated on the label on the wheel.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when cornering.
– Fitting the damaged wheel into the emergency spare wheel housing will reduce the vehicle’s ground clearance: avoid driv
- ing over any obstacles.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

Tyre inflation kit
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
AB
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 repaired, where possible) by a spe- cialist.
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.
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 hand- ling 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.
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 more than 4 mm, or cuts in the tyre
sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in good condition.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
In the event of a puncture, use the kit which is located under the luggage compartment carpet on equipped ve-
hicles: open the kit, remove the caps 1
and 4 (it is essential not to remove the bursting disc from the bottle) and screw
bottle 2 in place of cap 4.
Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.
With the ignition on,
– adapter
8 must be connected to ve-
hicle accessories socket 9;
– unscrew the valve cap of the wheel
concerned and screw on the inflation
adapter 6;
– press switch
3 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (refer to the information on “Tyre pressure”);
– after a maximum of
7 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the bottle is emptying (ap- proximately 30 seconds), the pressure
gauge 5 will indicate briefly a pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure drops.

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.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit, to
reduce it, press button 7 located on the inflation adapter.
If the correct pressure cannot be achieved, repair is impossible. Do not drive the vehicle. Consult an ap- proved dealer.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 6 to prevent any repair product from escaping and screw the hose to the bottle opening to prevent the product from escaping.
Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver;
Put the kit away.
Start driving immediately, and after 6 miles (10 kilometres) or 10 minutes of driving, stop to check the tyre pressure. If it is above 1.3 bar, adjust it to the rec- ommended pressure (refer to the infor- mation on “Tyre pressures”), otherwise contact an approved dealer: repair is not possible.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes.
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 sticker, 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
inflation 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.6
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or miss- ing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the “Emergency spare wheel” and instruc- tions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
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.
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, assume an in- crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
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 the originals and screw them down fully.
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).
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).

OPERATING FAULTS (4/8)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESACTION REQUIRED
White smoke from the exhaust.This is not necessarily a fault. Smoke may be caused by regeneration of the particle filter.
Refer to the information on “Special fea- tures of diesel versions” in Section 2.
Vibrations.Tyres not inflated to correct pressures, incorrectly balanced or damaged.Check the tyre pressures. If this is not the problem, have them checked by an ap- proved Dealer.
Coolant boiling in the coolant reservoir.Mechanical fault: cylinder head gasket blown, faulty coolant pump.Stop the engine.
Consult an approved dealer.
