Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is es-

sential to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres

con- form to local road traffic regula-

tions.

Incidents which occur

when driving, such as

striking the kerb, may

damage the tyres and

wheel rims, and could also lead to

misalignment of the front or rear

axle geometry. In this case, have

the condition of these checked by

an approved dealer.

For your safety and to

comply with the law.

When they need to be

replaced, only tyres of

the same make, size, type and

profile should be used on a single

axle.

Tyre pressures

The tyres must be in good condition

and the treads must have sufficient

depth: tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips

the tread at several points.

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

INSTALLATION AND USE OF ACCESSORIES

Electrical and electronic accessories

Before installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level,

position of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer.

Before connecting an accessory to a socket, please ensure that it does not exceed the maximum power autho-

rised for the socketꢀ 283 ꢀ 293. Fire hazard.

No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical and/or electronic circuits, except by a qualified professional. In fact,

an incorrect connection and/or the installation of electrical/electronic accessories not approved by the manufacturer could

lead to:

– damage to the electrical and/or electronic equipment;

– damage to the components connected to it;

– the collection and use of vehicle data;

– an invasion of privacy (modification, deletion or unwarranted access to personal data);

– cancellation of the authorisation for entry into service.

Using the diagnostic socket

The use of electronic accessories on the diagnostic socket may cause serious disturbance to the vehicle's electronic sys-

tems and/or cause invasion of privacy (modification, deletion or unwarranted access to personal data). For your safety, we

recommend that you only use electronic accessories approved by the manufacturer: consult an approved dealer. Risk of

serious accidents. Risk of invasion of privacy.

Fitting aftermarket accessories

If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: consult an approved dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of your

vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for your

vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty.

If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal.
