364 - Practical advice
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
loss warning system
In the event of under-inflation
(puncture, flat tyre, etc.), the
warning light appears on the
instrument panel 🡺174.
Emergency spare wheel
🡺353, 🡺361 .
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
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
original tyres or conform to
those recommended by an
authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle's
roadworthiness.
Risk of loss of control of the
vehicle.
Use in winter
Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
One-way tyres
An one-way tyre must only be fitted in
one direction. You must observe this
direction.
If an one-way tyre must be fitted in the
opposite to its direction of rotation
following a puncture, drive with
caution, particularly on a wet road,
because the tyre specifications will not
be adapted.
Chains may only be
fitted to tyres of the
same size as those
originally fitted to your
vehicle.
"Snow" or "Winter" tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum
adhesion.
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.
