KNOWING
YOUR CAR
STARTING
AND DRIVING
Keep your speed down
when snow chains are fitted.
Do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and also avoid driving
long distances on roads not covered
with snow in order to prevent
damaging the car and the roadbed.
If the vehicle is equipped with the
iTPMS, see the “Knowing your
c ” section.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be followed:
❒
park the car in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
❒
engage a gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒
disconnect battery negative terminal
and check charge (see paragraph
“Battery - Charge and electrolyte
level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”)
❒
clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be
in compliance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied
only onto the front wheel tyres
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be
fitted on the space-saver wheel. So,
if a front (drive) wheel is punctured
and chains are needed, a rear wheel
should be fitted to the front of the
car and the space-saving spare wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way
with two standard wheels at the front,
snow chains can be fitted to them
to solve an emergency.
Never install snow chains
on the space-saver spare
wheel.
