Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact be-

tween the vehicle and the road, so it

is essential to keep them in good

condition.

You must make sure that your tyres

con- form to local road traffic regu-

lations.

Incidents which occur

when driving, such as

striking the kerb, may

Incorrect tyre pres-

sures lead to abnormal

are factors which may seriously

affect safety and lead to:

– poor road holding;

– the risk of blow-outs or of

throwing a tread.

When the tyre tread has been worn

to the level of the wear indicators

these become visible 2 : it will then

be necessary to replace your tyres

as the tread depth will be 1.6 mm at

most, resulting in poor road-holding

on wet roads.

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).

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.

Pressures should be checked when

the tyres are cold. Ignore higher

pressures which may be reached in

hot weather or after driving at high

speed.

If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, assume an

increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Risk of damage to the vehicle.

Obtain suitable leads (large cross-

you already have jump leads, ensure

that they are in good condition.

The two batteries must have an

identical nominal voltage: 12 V. The

battery supplying the current should

have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah)

which is at least the same as that of

the discharged battery.

of this.

Ensure that there is no risk of con-

of short circuiting when the positive

terminals are connected) and that

Risk of serious accidents.

Risk of invasion of privacy.

If you have electrical equipment fitted in future, make sure that you obtain information on the rating and position of

this fuse.

Using the diagnostic socket

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

ic systems. For your safety, we recommend that you only use electronic accessories approved by the manufacturer:

consult an approved dealer.

Risk of serious accidents

Fitting aftermarket accessories

If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: consult an approved dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of
