TYRES

When the tyre tread has been worn

to the level of the wear indicators,

they become visible 2 : it is then nec-

essary to replace your tyres be-

cause the tread rubber is 1.6 mm

deep at most, resulting in poor road-

holding on wet roads.

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 af-

fect safety.

Incorrect tyre pres-

sures lead to abnormal

tyre wear and unusual-

affect safety and lead to:

– poor road holding;

– the risk of blow-outs or of

throwing a tread.

The pressure depends on the

load and the speed of use. Ad-

just the pressure according to

the conditions of use (refer to

the label affixed to the edge of

the driver's door).

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.

Pressures should be checked when

the tyres are cold: ignore higher

pressures which may be reached in

hot weather or after the vehicle is

driven at high speed.

If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, the pres-

sure values indicated must be in-

creased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Tyre pressures

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have suffi-

cient depth; tyres approved by our

Technical Department have wear

warning strips 1 which are indica-

tors moulded into the tread at sever-

al points.

tyre pressures should be checked at

least once a month and additionally

before any long journey (refer to the

One-way tyres

An one-way tyre must only be fitted

pressure gauge 2 will briefly indicate

a pressure up to 6 bar, then the pres-

sure will drop.

continue inflating using the kit. To

reduce it, press the button 1 .

If the recommended pressure of 1.8

tow the vehicle using a towing point,

observe the following instructions:

– with the card in the passenger

compartment, press the engine

start button;

– Set the gear control to the N ꢀ 172

INSTALLATION AND USE OF ACCESSORIES

Electrical and electronic accessories

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

er level, position of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. Contact an approved deal-

er.

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

for the socketꢀ 320 ꢀ 325. 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.

Risk of serious accidents. Risk of invasion of privacy.

If you have electrical equipment fitted in future, make sure that you are notified of the rating and position of the cor-

Using the diagnostic socket

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

ic systems and/or cause invasion of privacy (modification, deletion or unwarranted access to personal data). For

your safety we recommend that you use only electronic accessories approved by the manufacturer, consult an ap-

proved 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.
