REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
You should repair paintwork damagecaused by stones from the road or minorscratches as soon as possible. A choice ofproducts are available from an authorizeddealer.
Remove particles such as bird droppings,tree sap, insect deposits, tar spots, roadsalt and industrial fallout before repairingpaint chips.
Always read and follow the manufacturer’sinstructions before using the products.
CLEANING THE ALLOY
WHEELS
Note:Do not apply a cleaning chemical towarm or hot wheel rims and covers.
Note:Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, incombination with brush agitation to removebrake dust and dirt, could wear away theclear coat finish over a period of time.
Note:Do not use hydrofluoric acid-basedor high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steelwool, fuels or strong household detergent.
Note:If you intend parking your vehicle foran extended period after cleaning thewheels with a wheel cleaner, drive yourvehicle for a few minutes before doing so.This will reduce the risk of increasedcorrosion of the brake discs, brake pads andlinings.
Note:Some automatic car washes maycause damage to the finish on your wheelrims and covers.
Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coatedwith a clear coat paint finish. To maintaintheir condition we recommend that you:
•Clean them weekly with therecommended wheel and tire cleaner.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To make sure the front and rear tires ofyour vehicle wear evenly and last longer,we recommend that you swap the tiresfrom front to rear and vice versa at regularintervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles(5000 and 10000 kilometers).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of thetires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowlyand approach it with the wheels atright-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreignobjects and uneven wear of the tread.Uneven wear could mean that the wheelalignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including thespare) when cold, every two weeks.
USING WINTER TIRES
If winter tires are used you must inflatethem to the same tire pressures as thoselisted in the tire pressure table. See TirePressures (page 273).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtires.
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimeters orsmaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Vehicles with Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 166).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring systemis not a substitute for manuallychecking tire pressures. You shouldperiodically check tire pressures using apressure gauge. Failure to correctlymaintain tire pressures could increase therisk of tire failure, loss of control, vehiclerollover and personal injury.
You must check the tire pressures(including the spare tire where applicable)every two weeks when the tires are cold.
You must inflate the tires to the correctpressure.
See Wheels and Tires (page 260).The tirepressures are also on the tire inflationpressure label (located on the edge ofdriver door or the B-Pillar).
