A WARNING
-
-
- If the tire pressure ind icator appears in the
instr ument cluster disp lay, reduce your
speed immediately and avoid any hard
steer ing or braking maneuvers . Stop as soon
as possible and check the tires and the ir
pressures.
- The drive r is responsible fo r maintain ing the
correct t ire pressures. You must check t he
tire pressures regularly.
- Under cert ain condit ions (such as a sporty
driving style, win t er condi t ions or unpaved
roads), the pressu re moni t or indicator may
be delayed.
- Do not use run-flat tires on your vehicle. Us-
ing them when not perm itted can lead to
vehicle damage or accident s.

wheel in the luggage compa rt ment so t hat
if necessary it is ready for use.
