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-

are factors which may seriously

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

in one direction. You must observe

If an one-way tyre must be fitted in

tion following a puncture, drive with

"Snow" or "Winter" tyres

We would recommend that these be

that your vehicle retains maximum

adhesion.

Caution: these tyres sometimes

have a specific direction of rotation

and a maximum speed index which

may be lower than the maximum

speed for your vehicle.

It is not permissible to

exchange the 18" and

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

bar cannot be achieved after 15 min-

utes, repair is impossible. Do not dri-

– If the pressure is higher than 1.3 bar

but lower than the recommended

pressure (see the label affixed to the

it. Otherwise, contact an approved

dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.
