Driver’s responsibility
Switch
5 inhibits the operation of the rear electric windows.
If there is a child (or animal) in the vehicle, never leave it unattended with the key in the ignition. With the key in the ignition it would be possible to operate the electric windows and there is a risk that a child or animal may be seriously injured (by trapping his or her neck, arm, hand, etc.).
If something gets trapped, reverse the direction of travel as soon as po\
ssible by pressing the relevant switch.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
– Wash your car frequently, with the engine off, with cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
– bird droppings, which contain chemicals that rapidly discolour paintwork and may cause the paint to peel off;
Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im- possible to remove them by pol- ishing;
– salt deposited in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads are chemically treated;
– mud in the wheel arches and un- derneath the body which form damp patches. –
Keep well away from the vehicle in
front when driving on gravelled sur- faces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been damaged to prevent corrosion spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop pe
- riodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway). –
Before using a roller type car wash,
put the windscreen wiper stalk in Park position (refer information on the “Windscreen wash/wipe” in Section 1), check that the external accessories, additional lights, and mirrors are securely fitted and that the wiper blades and radio aerial are taped down.
If your vehicle has a car phone and radio, remove the aerials.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved by the Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.
We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from approved dealer accessory outlets.

Fitting new tyres
TYRES (continued)
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be respected. Tyre pressures for all wheels (including the spare wheel) must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey (refer to the information on “Tyre pressures” at the beginning of this document).
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 blowouts or throwing a
tread.
Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the condi- tions of use. (Refer to the informa- tion on “Tyre pressures” at the be- ginning of this document).
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.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country or model) fixed to the edge or frame of the driver’s door gives the recommended tyre pressures.
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.
– Heavy steering.
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.
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.
