TYRES (1/3)

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators, they

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is 1.6 mm deep at most, re-

sulting in poor road-holding 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

con- form to local road traffic regula-

tions.

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.

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.

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.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system

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).

In the event of under-inflation (punc-

tures, under-inflation, etc.), the

warning light appears on the instrument

panel. ➥ 2.33.



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.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheel

➥ 5.2 ➥ 5.11

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.

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).

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

“Snow”or “Winter” tyres

Fitting new tyres

Use in winter

We would recommend that these be

fitted to all four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

sion.

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.

Chains

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.

Studded tyres

For your safety, please re-

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.

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 a speed capacity at

least equal to the original tyres,

or correspond to those recom-

mended by your 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.

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.
