Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
TYRES (1/3)
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 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.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. 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.
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.

Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“ E m e r g e n c y s p a r e w h e e l ” a n d
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
TYRES (2/3)
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).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–
poor roadholding;
–
r
isk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
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.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
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;
–
I
t may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–
i
t may affect the use of snow
chains.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com-
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals.

Use in winter
Chains
Snow chains must be fitted to the
front wheels.
TYRES (3/3)
It is forbidden to fit snow
chains to only the rear
wheels.
Snow chains may only be
fitted to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to
tyres.
Consult an approved dealer.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
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.
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.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact your approved
Dealer who will be able to advise
you on the choice of equipment
which is most suitable for your ve-
hicle.

Towing procedureThe steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to pro-
vide stop lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. Always
switch on the lights when driving at
night. Remove any trailer.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla-
tion in each country, and not to exceed
the towable weight for your vehicle.
Consult an approved dealer.
Only use:– at the front, towing hitch 1 (from
the luggage compartment) and
towing point
3.
–
At the rear
, towing point 4.
These towing points may only be used
for pulling the vehicle, never for lifting it
either directly or indirectly.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
–
A
vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
–
A

may result in damage being

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for-
ward, with the gear lever in the N posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
