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 warning strips, they
become visible
2: it is then neces -
sary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep
at most, resulting in poor road hold -
ing 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.
Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
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 which are indicators moulded into
the tread at several points.
TYRES (1/3)
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.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions 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 pressures
Adhere 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).

Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum road
holding.
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.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.
Special features of ver -
sions fitted with 165/65
R15 tyres
If you wish to fit studded
tyres, you must use special equip-
ment.
Consult an approved dealer.
TYRES (3/3)
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
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.

It is essential to use anti-U.V. 55W
bulbs so as not to damage the plastic
on the headlights.
Do not touch the bulb glass. Hold it
by its base.
Mark the bulb’s position before removal
to ensure correct positioning when re -
placing.
When the bulb has been changed,
make sure you refit the cover correctly.
However, because parts need to be
removed, you are advised to have
your bulbs replaced by an approved
dealer.

ular the alternator). In addition, your
Dealer has all the parts required for
fitting these units.
