TYRE PRESSURE (1/2)
A
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.
Label A
Open the driver’s door to read it.
Tyre pressures should be checked 
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked 
when the tyres are  cold, increase the 
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI). 
Never deflate a hot tyre. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure 
loss warning system
If underinflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light 
 on 
the instrument panel comes on, see 
“Tyre pressure loss warning system” in 
Section 2.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Before using this kit, park 
the vehicle at a sufficient 
distance from traffic, switch 
on the hazard warning 
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all 
passengers to leave the vehicle and 
keep them away from traffic.
Nothing should be placed 
around the driver’s feet 
as such objects may slide 
under the pedals during 
sudden braking manoeuvres and 
obstruct their use.
Please be aware that a 
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the 
tyres less airtight and may 
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to 
those fitted originally and tighten 
them fully.
If the vehicle is parked on 
the hard shoulder, you must 
warn other road users of 
your vehicle’s presence 
with a warning triangle or with other 
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
Following repair with the kit, 
do not travel further than 
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and 
under no circumstances exceed 
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, 
which you must affix in a prominent 
position on the dashboard, reminds 
you of this.
Depending on the country or local 
legislation, a tyre repaired with the 
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
Depending on the vehicle, in the event 
of a puncture, use the kit located in the 
tool kit underneath the driver’s seat.
To remove it, move the seat forwards 
as far as it will go, and move the seat-
back.
Unscrew the mounting screw  C from 
the unit and swivel to extract.
Precautions when using the 
kit
The kit should not be operated for more 
than 15 consecutive minutes.

CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from 
traffic and on a level surface 
where it will not slip.
Apply the hand brake and engage a 
gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the 
vehicle and keep them away from 
traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on 
the hard shoulder, you must 
warn other road users of 
your vehicle’s presence 
with a warning triangle or with other 
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as 
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected 
(and repaired, where possible) by a 
specialist.
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle 
as they may come loose 
under braking. After use, 
check that all the tools are correctly 
clipped into the tool kit, then position 
it correctly in its housing: there is a 
risk of injury.
The jack is designed for wheel 
changing purposes only. Under no 
circumstances should it be used for 
carrying out repairs underneath the 
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.

TYRES (2/3)

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.
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.
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, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure 
loss warning system
If underinflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light 
 on 
the instrument panel comes on, see

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be 
in position M (ignition on) to provide 
brake lights and hazard warning 
lights on the towed vehicle. At night 
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is 
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in 
which you are driving: do not exceed 
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used 
for traction: never use them for lifting 
the vehicle directly or indirectly.– 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.
–  Do not accelerate or brake sud- denly when towing, as this may 
result in damage being caused to 
the vehicle.
–  When towing a vehicle, do not  exceed  15 mph (25 km/h).
–  Do not push the vehicle if the  steering column is locked.
When the engine is 
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from 
the ignition switch or the 
card from the reader during 
towing.

OPERATING FAULTS (4/7)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
White smoke from the exhaust. In the diesel version, this is necessarily a  fault. Smoke may be caused by particle 
filter regeneration. Please refer to the information on “Special 
features of diesel versions” in Section 2.
Smoke under the vehicle when 
starting the heating. This is not necessarily a fault. The smoke 
may come from the heater.
If this happens, the smoke will gradually 
disappear once the passenger compart-
ment temperature has reached the ap-
propriate level.
Smoke under the bonnet. Short-circuit or cooling system leak. Stop, switch off the ignition, stand away 
from the vehicle and contact an approved 
dealer.
The oil pressure warning light 
comes on: while cornering or braking The level is too low. Top up the engine oil level (refer to the in-
formation on “Engine oil level: topping up, 
filling” in Section 4).
