TYRES

166 - Practical advice
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an
increase of 0.2 to 0.3bar(or3PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or
missing valve cap can
make the tyres less
airtight and may lead to pressure
loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
the originals and screw them
down fully.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system
If the tyres are under-inflated
(puncture, low pressure, etc.), the
warning light appears on the
instrument panel: refer to the
information on "Tyre pressure
monitoringsystem"inSection2.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
"Emergency spare wheel" and
"Changing a wheel" in Section 5.
Exchanging the right-hand and left-
hand wheels
This practice is not recommended.
The front and rear
wheels have different
dimensions. For safety
reasons, it is not
permitted to exchange the front
wheels (tyres and/or rims) with
the rear wheels.
Fitting new tyres
For your safety reasons.
Only tyres identical to
those fitted originally or
recommended by an
approved dealer must be used.
Failure to follow these instructions
could endanger your safety. This
could adversely affect stability,
behaviour, braking or the
clearance between the bodywork
and the tyres.
Some of these effects could
lead to the loss of control of the
vehicle under certain driving
conditions.
