TYRE PRESSURES (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 km/h) 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-

fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Depending on the vehicle, the battery  1 
is located under a cover and does not 
require any maintenance.  You should 
not open it or add any fluid.
Replacing the battery

you to contact an approved Dealer.
Before performing any 
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must 
be switched off by pressing 
the engine stop button (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).   

4.14
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances 
when driving on gravelled surfaces to 
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas 
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 Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray 
them with products approved by our 
Technical Department to protect them 
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products 
to care for your vehicle and you can 
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to 
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” 
in Section 1). Check the mounting of 
external accessories, additional lights 
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper 
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your 
vehicle is fitted with this equipment. 
Remember to remove the tape and refit 
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic 
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool 
to clean them. If this does not clean 
them properly, moisten the cloth with 
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft 
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry 
cloth.
Cleaning products  containing  alco-
hol must not  be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint 
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
–  use wax-based products (polishing);
–   rub hard;
–   wash the vehicle in a roller-type car 
wash;
–   wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
–   attach stickers to the paintwork (risk 
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty 
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle 
sponge.

In case of punctureDepending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is 
provided (refer to the following pages).
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure 
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light 
 
on the instrument panel comes on. 
See “Tyre pressure loss warning” in 
Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it \
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is 
safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the other \
wheels:
–  Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
–  Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel ident\
ical to the original one.
–  When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measu\
re, the driving speed must not exceed the speed  indicated on the label on the wheel.
–  Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually r\
uns. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and  reduce your speed when cornering.
–  If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rea\
r axle and check the tyre pressure.
–  The warning light 
 on the instrument panel flashes for several seconds, then stays on.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

on “Tyre pressure”);
–  after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop  inflating and read the pressure (on 
pressure gauge  5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the 
pressure gauge  5 will briefly indicate 
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
