Inflation pressures

Observe the inflation pressures (including the spare wheel). Check them at least once a month and before each long journey (refer to the label on the driver's door edge).

Insufficient pressure causes premature wear and abnormal heating of the tyres, with all the safety consequences this entails:

• poor handling,
• risk of tyre blow-out or tread separation.

The inflation pressure depends on the load and the driving speed.

Adjust the pressures according to the driving conditions (refer to the label on the driver's door edge).

Pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold. Do not take into account the higher pressures reached in hot weather or after driving at high speed.

If the pressure cannot be checked on cold tyres, increase the indicated pressures by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Warning: a missing or incorrectly tightened valve cap may compromise the tyre's airtightness and cause pressure loss.

Always keep valve caps identical to the original ones and fully tightened.

Vehicle fitted with a low tyre pressure warning system

In the event of under-inflation (puncture, low pressure, etc.), the warning light
illuminates on the instrument panel, refer to the "Low tyre pressure warning" section in chapter 2.

Spare wheel

Refer to the "Spare wheel" and "Wheel change" sections in chapter 5.

Wheel rotation

This practice is not recommended.

Tyre replacement

For safety reasons, this work must be entrusted exclusively to a specialist.

Fitting a different tyre size or type may change:

• the compliance of your vehicle with applicable regulations;
• its cornering behaviour;
• heavy steering;
• the fitting of snow chains.
