Wheels and tyres
● Sno w c
h
ains on the temporary spare wheel
are not permitted ›››
 page 41.
● After mounting the spare wheel or the tem-
porary
spare wheel, check the tyre pressure
as soon as possible ››› page 203.
It is advisable to check the spare wheel or
temporary spare wheel tyre pressure when
checking the rest of the vehicle wheels at
least once a month. The spare wheel should
have the highest pressure allowed for the ve-
hicle ››› page 203. The sticker situated on the
temporary spare wheel shows the tyre pres-
sure. WARNING
Incorrect handling of the spare wheel or the
tempor ar

y spare wheel can cause loss of ve-
hicle control, producing collisions or other
serious accidents and injury.
● Never use the spare wheel or the temporary
spar
e wheel if it is damaged or worn to the
wear indicator.
● In some vehicles the spare wheel is smaller
than the origina
l tyres. This can be seen on a
sticker showing the text “80 km/h” and
“50 mph”. This text indicates the maximum
velocity permitted for this type of tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
Avoid po
werful acceleration, hard braking
and taking corners at high speed.
● Never drive more than 200 km with a tem-
porary
spare wheel fitted to the drive axle. ●
Rep l

ace the temporary spare wheel for a
normal wheel as soon as possible. The com-
pact temporary spare wheel is only intended
for temporary use over short distances.
● The temporary spare wheel must always be
secured w
ith the factory supplied wheel
bolts.
● You should never use more than one tem-
porary
spare wheel.
● After mounting the temporary spare wheel,
check
the tyre pressure as soon as possible
››› page 203.
● Snow chains on the temporary spare wheel
are not permitt
ed. Note
Wherever possible, secure the spare wheel,
tempor ar

y spare wheel or the replaced wheel
safely in the luggage compartment. In vehi-
cles with anti-puncture kit, it is not possible
to secure the defective wheel. Tyre code

Brazil or China.
a)
The letters TIN refer to the tyre serial number.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern have
been designed to operate best when rotating
in only one direction. An arrow on the tyre
sidewall indicates the direction of rotation on
tyres with directional tread. Always observe
the direction of rotation indicated when
mounting the wheel. This guarantees opti-
mum grip and helps to avoid aquaplaning,
grip, noise and wear.

Wheels and tyres
If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direc-
tion of r
ot
ation, drive with extreme caution,
as the tyre is no longer being used correctly.
This is of particular importance when the
road surface is wet. Change the tyre as soon
as possible or remount it with the correct di-
rection of rotation.

whether additional equipment is fitted, for
different models, for special vehicles and for
other countries. Abbreviations used in the Technical Specifi-

Specific vehicle weight information The instructions in the official vehicle docu-

ak

e precedence. All the technical data
provided in this documentation is applicable
to the basic model. The vehicle data label in
the Maintenance Programme or the vehicle
documentation shows which engine is instal-
led in your vehicle.
The figures may be different depending
whether additional equipment is fitted, for
different models and for special vehicles.
Kerb weight values shown in the following ta-
ble apply to a vehicle with driver (75 kg), liq-
uids including a fuel tank 90% full, in addi-
tion to tools and a spare wheel ››› . The
k erb w

indicated increases with optional
equipment and retrofitting of accessories,
while proportionally reducing carrying ca-
pacity.
The load is equivalent to the following
weights:
● Passengers.
● Total equipment.
3 4 ●
Roof
lo

ad, included in the carrier. WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised weight
and the loa d on the ax

les could cause dam-
age to the vehicle, accidents and serious in-
juries.
● The real load on the axles should never ex-
ceed the max
imum permitted.
● The load and its distribution in the vehicle
have eff
ects on the vehicle handling and the
braking ability. Always drive at a suitable
speed. CAUTION
Distribute the load as uniformly and as low
down on the v

ehicle as possible. When trans-
porting heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment, these should be placed as far for-
ward as possible or over the rear axle to have
as little influence on handling as possible. Fuel consumption
Approved consumption values are derived
fr
om me
a

surements performed or supervised
by certified EU laboratories, according to the
legislation in force at the time (for more infor-
mation, see the Publications Office of the Eu-
ropean Union on the EUR-Lex website: © Eu-
ropean Union, http://eur-lex.europa.eu/) and
apply to the specified vehicle characteristics. The values relating to fuel consumption and
CO
2 emis

sions can be found in the documen-
tation provided to the purchaser of the vehi-
cle at the time of purchase.
Fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions depend
on the equipment/features of each individual
vehicle, as well as on the driving style, road
conditions, traffic conditions, environmental
conditions, load or number of passengers. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Wheels

Wheel bolts
After the wheels have been changed, the
tightening torque of the wheel bolts should
be checked as soon as possible with a torque
wrench ››› . The tightening torque for steel
and al lo
y

wheels is 140 Nm. WARNING
● Check the ty

re pressure at least once per
month. Checking the tyre pressure is very im-
portant. If the tyre pressure is too high or too
low, there is an increased danger of accidents
- particularly at high speeds.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
is t
oo low, they could loosen while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tight-
ening torque is too high, the wheel bolts and
threads can be damaged. Note
We recommend that you ask your Technical
Serv ic

e for information about appropriate
wheel, tyre and snow chain size. 212
