TYRES (1/3)  
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.  
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.  
1
You must make sure that your tyres  
conform to local road traffic regulations.  
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.  
2
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 they need to be re-  
placed, only tyres of the  
same make, size, type and  
profile should be used.  
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.  
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should  
either be identical to those fitted  
originally or conform to those  
recommended by your approved  
Dealer.  
In this case, have the condition of  
these checked by an approved  
dealer.

TYRES (2/3)  
Pressures should be checked when the  
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures  
which may be reached in hot weather  
or following a fast journey.  
Tyre pressures  
Changing wheels around  
This practice is not recommended.  
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).  
Emergency spare wheel  
Refer to the information on “Puncture”  
and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.  
If tyre pressures cannot be checked  
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-  
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.  
Never deflate a hot tyre.  
Fitting new tyres  
Incorrect tyre pressures  
lead to abnormal tyre wear  
and unusually hot running.  
These are factors which  
may seriously affect safety and lead  
to:  
For safety reasons, this op-  
eration must be carried out  
by a specialist.  
Fitting different tyres may  
change your vehicle as follows:  
– it may mean that your vehicle no  
longer conforms to current regu-  
lations;  
– poor road holding,  
– risk of bursting or tread separa-  
tion.  
– It may change the way it handles  
when cornering;  
Please be aware that a  
poorly tightened or miss-  
ing valve cap can make the  
tyres less airtight and lead  
to pressure loss.  
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).  
– It may cause the steering to be  
heavy;  
– it may affect the use of snow  
chains.  
Always use valve caps identical to  
those fitted originally and tighten  
them fully.

Use in winter  
Chains  
Snow or Winter tyres  
We would recommend that these be  
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that  
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-  
sion.  
For safety reasons, fitting snow  
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-  
bidden.  
Chains must not be fitted to tyres  
which are larger than those originally  
fitted to the vehicle.  
Warning: These tyres sometimes  
have a specific direction of rotation  
and a maximum speed index which  
may be lower than the maximum  
speed of your vehicle.  
Studded tyres  
This type of equipment may only be  
used for a limited period and as laid  
down by local legislation.  
It is necessary to observe the speed  
specified by current legislation.  
These tyres must, at a minimum, be  
fitted to the two front wheels.  
Chains may only be fitted  
to tyres of the same size  
as those originally fitted to  
your vehicle.  
Only certain chains can be fitted to  
tyres. Please contact an authorised  
dealer.  
In all cases, we would recommend  
that you contact your approved  
Dealer who will be able to advise  
you on the choice of equipment  
which is most suitable for your ve-  
hicle.
