tyres (3/3)
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle
no longer conforms to current
regulations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.
changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure moni-
tor may take several min-
utes to correctly determine
the positions of the wheels and the
pressure values after driving, check
the tyre pressures following any op-
eration.

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.
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 necessary
to observe the speed specified by
current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
snow or Winter tyres
We recommend that these be fitted to
all four wheelers to ensure that your
vehicle remains 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.
In all cases, we would recommend
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.
