AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in 
fuel consumption (especially in town) 
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning 
with no automatic mode, switch off the 
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the 
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the 
sun, open the doors for a few moments 
to let the hot air escape before starting 
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
–  Reduction in de-icing, demisting  or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
–  No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound. 
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the 
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water 
to be present under the vehicle. This is 
caused by condensation.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning 
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may 
notice that condensation starts to form 
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear 
View” function to remove it, then use 
the air conditioning in automatic mode 
to stop it forming again.

TYRE PRESSURE (2/2)
Special note concerning fully laden 
vehicles (Maximum Permissible All-Up 
Weight) and towing a trailer:  the maxi-
mum speed must be limited to  60 mph 
(100 kph) and the tyre pressure in-
creased by 0.2 bar.
Please refer to the information on 
“Weights” in Section 6. Tyre safety and use of snow chains:
 
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in 
Section 5 for the servicing conditions 
and, depending on the version, the use 
of chains.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the 
same make, size, type and profile 
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least 
equal to those of the original 
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions 
could endanger your safety and 
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.

5.6
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
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 han-
dling 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 
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre 
sidewall  B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in 
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body 
causing the puncture if it is still in 
the tyre.
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 re-
paired, where possible) as soon as 
possible by a specialist.
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.

5.13
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 comply with the local rules given 
in the highway code.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.
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)
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.

For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the 
same make, size, type and profile 
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at 
least equal to the original tyres, 
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised 
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions 
could endanger your safety and 
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.

Clip 1
Remove the fuse using tweezers  1, lo-
cated at the back of flap A.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers, 
slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse 
locations.Fuses in passenger compartment A
If any electrical component does not 
work, check the condition of the fuses. 
Unclip the access flap  A.
FUSES (1/5)
Fuses in engine compartment  B
Some functions are protected by fuses 
located in the engine compartment 
(unit B).
However, because of their reduced 
accessibility,  we advise you to have 
your fuses replaced by an approved 
Dealer .
1
A
B
To comply with current legislation, or 
as a precaution, you can obtain an 
emergency kit from your approved 
dealer containing a set of spare 
bulbs and fuses.
Check the fuse in question and  replace it, if necessary, by a fuse of the 
same rating.
If a fuse is fitted with too high a rating, it may cause the electrical \
circuit 
to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using \
an ex-
cessive amount of current.
