GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and
tyre sizes. Using other sizes
could damage the vehicle and will
make the National Type Approval
invalid.
If you change the diameter of the
tyres from that fitted at the
factory, the speedometer may not
display the correct speed. Take the
vehicle to your dealer to have the
engine management system
reprogrammed.
A decal with tyre pressure data is
located in the driver s door opening
at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at
the ambient temperature in which
you are intending to drive the vehicle
and when the tyres are cold.

Vehicle jack

WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with
your vehicle should only be used
when changing a wheel in
emergency situations.
Before using the vehicle jack,
check that it is not damaged or
deformed and that the thread is
lubricated and free from foreign
matter.
Never place anything between
the jack and the ground, or the
jack and the vehicle.
Note: Vehicles with a tyre repair kit
or run flat tyres are not equipped with
a vehicle jack or a wheel brace.
It is recommended to use a
workshop type hydraulic jack for
changing between summer and
winter tyres.
Note: Use a jack with a minimum
lifting capacity of 1.5 tonnes and a
lifting plate with a minimum diameter
of 80 millimetres (3.1 inches).
