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.

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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/4)
In the event of a puncture, use the kit
situated under the passenger footwell 1
by unscrewing the two screws 2.With the engine running and the par-
king brake applied,
– Connect the compressor hose 4 to
the container inlet 9;
– remove the cap from the container inflation adapter 3;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rele- vant wheel and screw on the contai-
ner’s inflation adapter 3;
– disconnect any accessories pre- viously connected to the vehicle’s
accessories sockets;
– the end piece 7 must be plugged in
to the vehicle accessories socket;
563
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.

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 ap-
plying to the country you are in.
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information on “Tyre in-
flation pressure” in Section 4);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 6).
Note: While the container empties (approx. 30 secs), the pressure
gauge 6 briefly shows pressure up to
6 bar, then the pressure drops.
– Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 8.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/4)
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the con-
tainer inflation adapter 3 to avoid any
product release and store the container
in plastic packaging to prevent release
of the product.
– Affix the driving recommendation label (located under the container) to
the dashboard where the driver can
see it.
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation ope- ration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
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.
3– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.

5.5
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
The container must be replaced after
the first use even if liquid remains
inside.
TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/4)
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.
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.

5.7
Tyre pressuresAdhere to the tyre pressures. 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).
The pressures should be checked cold:
ignore higher pressures which may be
reached in hot weather or following a
high speed journey.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.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist. Fitting differ-
ent 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;
– it may cause the steering to be heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow chains.
If the 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.
Changing wheels around
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or missing
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.
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).
The front and rear wheels
have different dimensions.
For safety reasons, it is not
permitted to switch the front
wheels (tyres and/or rims) with the
rear wheels.

5.29
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to the correct pres-
sure, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Coolant boiling in the coolant reservoir . Mechanical fault: damaged cylinder
head gasket. Stop the engine.
Contact an approved Dealer.
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).
