TYRES

Changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure
monitor may take sev-
eral minutes to correct-
ly determine the positions of the
wheels and the pressure values
after driving, check the tyre
pressures following any opera-
tion.
Use in winter
Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those original-
ly fitted to the vehicle.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains maximum
adhesion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes
have a specific direction of rotation
and a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
Snow chains may only
be fitted to tyres of the
same size as those
originally fitted to 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 neces-
sary to observe the speed specified
by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would rec-
ommend that you contact
an authorised dealer who
will be able to advise you on the
choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
