TYRES (1/3)

Tyre and wheel safety

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.

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.

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.

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. ➥ 2.38.



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.

Emergency spare wheel

➥ 5.2, ➥ 5.9.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

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.

TYRES (3/3)

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.

Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.

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 cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.

For your safety, please re-

spect the speed limit.

One-way tyres

Studded tyres

When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.

An one-way tyre must only be fitted in

one direction. You must observe this di-

rection.

This type of equipment may only be

used for a limited period and as laid

down by local legislation. It is neces-

sary to observe the speed specified by

current legislation.

If an one-way tyre must be fitted in the

opposite to its direction of rotation fol-

lowing a puncture, drive with caution,

particularly on a wet road, because the

tyre specifications will not be adapted.

They must either have a load ca-

pacity and speed rating at least

equal to those of the original

tyres, or be recommended by an

authorised dealer.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

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.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved Dealer

who will be able to advise you on

the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

Chains may only be fitted

to tyres of the same size

as those originally fitted to

your vehicle.
