OPERATING FAULTS (5/8)
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged.
Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
White smoke from the exhaust. In the diesel version, this is not neces-
sarily a fault. Smoke may be caused
by particle filter regeneration.
Refer to the information on “Special fea-
tures of diesel versions” in Section 2.

a fault. Depending on the climate con-
ditions (cold, humidity etc.), smoke
may be produced under hard vehicle

Reduce the engine speed and avoid
sudden acceleration to gradually make the
smoke disappear. Otherwise, this may be
caused by another fault. Consult an ap-
proved dealer.
