5.13
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).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, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
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. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure
etc.), the warning light
 lights up
on the instrument panel; please refer to
“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in
Section 2.
Emergency spare wheelRefer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in-
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Changing wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.
TYRES (2/3)
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 bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
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.

5.23
FUSES (2/2)
Some accessories are protected by
fuses located in the engine compart-
ment in fuse box C.
However, because of their reduced ac-
cessibility, we advise you to have your

OPERATING FAULTS (4/6)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating. Consult an approved dealer.
The engine overheats. The
coolant temperature indica-
tor is in the warning zone and
warning light
® comes on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and contact an
approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should contain fluid.
If there is no coolant, consult an approved dealer as
soon as possible.
Vibrations. T yres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the problem,
have them checked by an approved dealer.
Radiator:
If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
