TYRES

Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing 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.

Fitting new tyres
For your safety and to
comply with the law.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make, size, type and
profile should be used on a single
axle.
They must either have a load
capacity and speed rating at
least equal to those of the origi-
nal tyres, or conform to those
recommended by an approved
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle's roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the
vehicle.
Use in winter
Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
Chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fit-
ted to tyres of the same
size as those originally
fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted
to tyres. Consult an approved
Dealer.
"Snow" or "Winter" tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
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.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be fit-
ted to the two front wheels.
