Bodywork maintenance

BODyWORk MAintenAnCe

(1/2)

– Use solvents not approved by our

Technical Department to remove

stains as this could damage the

paintwork.

– Drive frequently in snow or muddy

conditions without washing the ve-

hicle, particularly under the wheel

arches and body.

you should not:

– Degrease or clean mechanical com-

ponents (e.g. the engine compart-

ment), underneath the body, parts

with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank

flap) and painted plastic external

fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-

pressure cleaning equipment or by

spraying on products not approved

by our Technical Department. If ade-

quate precautions are not taken, this

could give rise to corrosion or opera-

tional faults.

– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or

freezing temperatures.

– Scrape off mud or dirt without

prewetting.

– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-

pacts.

protection against the effects

of corrosive agents

Although your vehicle has been treated

with very effective anti-corrosion prod-

ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to

the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (urban and

industrial areas),

– saline atmospheres (near the

sea, particularly in hot weather),

– seasonal and damp climatic con-

ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,

water from road cleaners, etc.).

– abrasives

Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,

road grit thrown up by other vehi-

cles, etc.

– minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of

precautions in order to safeguard your

vehicle against such risks and not to

lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-

corrosion protection.

– Before going through a roller type car

wash, return the windscreen wiper

stalk to the Off position (refer to

the information on the “Windscreen

wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the

mounting of external accessories,

additional lights and mirrors, and

ensure that the wiper blades are se-

cured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your

vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and

refit the antenna after washing.

– Spray mechanical components,

hinges, etc., with products approved

by our Technical Department to

protect them after they have been

cleaned.

We have selected special products

to care for your vehicle and you can

obtain these from the manufactur-

er’s accessory outlets.

– Observe the vehicle stopping dis-

tances when driving on gravelled

surfaces to prevent paint damage.

– Repair, or have repaired quickly,

areas where the paint has been

damaged, to prevent corrosion

spreading.

– Remember to visit the body shop

periodically if your vehicle has an

anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the

Maintenance Service Booklet.

– Respect local regulations about

washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash

your vehicle on a public highway).

you should

– Wash your car frequently,

with the

engine off, with cleaning products

recommended by our Technical

Department (never use abrasive

products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;

–

bird droppings, which cause a

chemical reaction with the paint

that

rapidly discolours paint-

work and may even cause the

paint to peel off;

Wash the vehicle immediately

to remove these marks since it

is impossible to remove them by

polishing;

– salt, particularly in the wheel

arches and underneath the body

after driving in areas where the

roads have been gritted;

– mud in the wheel arches and un-

derneath the body which form

damp patches.

gency spare wheel disappears from the

instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre

pressure monitor” in Section 2.

In the event of a puncture,

depending on the vehicle,

you will have:

An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-

flation kit (refer to the information on the

following pages).

emergency spare wheel

This is located in the luggage compart-

ment. To access it:

– open the tailgate;

– depending on the vehicle, unscrew

the anchorage points;

– fold back the luggage compartment

carpet using tab 1;

– unscrew the central mounting;

– remove the emergency spare wheel.

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is

safe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the four other wheels:

–  Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
–  Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
–  When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed

indicated on the label on the wheel.

– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and

reduce your speed when cornering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

Tyre inflation kit

tyre Pressure KIt

(1/3)

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.
this repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and

repaired, where possible) by a spe-

cialist.
When taking a tyre which has been

repaired using this kit to be replaced,

you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-

lets do leak out, rinse them off with

plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

The kit repairs tyres when

tread A has been dam-

aged by objects smaller

than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts

larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre

sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in

good condition.

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located under-

neath the luggage compartment carpet.
Depending on the vehicle, remove the

central partition in the storage compart-

ment to access the inflation kit.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the

cap

Before using this kit, park

the vehicle at a sufficient

distance from traffic, switch

on the hazard warning

lights, apply the handbrake, ask all

passengers to leave the vehicle and

keep them away from traffic.

– connect adapter 8 to the accessories

socket on the dashboard of the vehi-

cle;

– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel

concerned and screw inflation

adapter 6 onto the valve;

– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to

the recommended pressure (check

the label affixed to the edge of the

driver’s door);

– after a maximum of 7 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 4);
note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), pres-

sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a

pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure

will drop.

– adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflating with the kit, to

reduce it, turn button 7 located on

the inflation adapter.

If the correct pressure cannot be

achieved, repair is impossible. Do

not drive the vehicle. consult an ap-

proved dealer.

– affix driving recommendation label 9

to the dashboard where it can easily

be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;
– start the engine straight away and,

after driving a maximum of approx-

imately

2 miles (3 kilometres) or

10 minutes, stop and check the

pressure using the inflation kit. If it is

above 1.3

bar, adjust it to the rec-

ommended pressure (refer to the

label affixed to the edge of the driv-

er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-

proved dealer: repair is not possible.

note: after using the inflation kit, you

should visit an approved Dealer to re-

place the inflation hose and the bottle

of repair product.

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed 48

mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which

you must affix in a prominent posi-

tion on the dashboard, reminds you

of this.
Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

tyre pressure kit will need to be re-

placed.

Nothing should be placed

around the driver’s feet

as such objects may slide

under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and

obstruct their use.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle

again;

– disconnect adapter 8;

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make

the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them

fully.

maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have sufficient

depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips 1

that are

indicators moulded into the

tread at several points.

tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres

conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators,

they

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is

no more than 1.6 mm deep,

resulting in poor roadholding on wet

roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys

by motorway, particularly in very hot

weather, or continual driving on poorly

surfaced minor roads will lead to more

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and

profile should be used.

tyres fitted to the vehicle should

either be identical to those fitted

originally or conform to those

recommended by your approved

dealer.

Incidents which occur when

driving, such as striking the

kerb, may damage the tyres

and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the

front or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of these

checked by an approved dealer.

tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

any long journey (refer to the label af-

fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Pressures should be checked when the

tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures

which may be reached in hot weather

or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are

cold, the normal

pressures must be increased by

0.2 to

0.3 bar (or 3 PsI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may

be an adapter which needs to be posi-

tioned on the valve before air is added.

tyres

(2/3)

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

The pressure depends on the load

and the speed of use. Adjust the

pressure according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the label affixed

to the edge of the driver’s door).

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

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 regu-

lations;

– 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.

maximum speed index which may be

lower than the maximum speed of 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.

Chains may only be fitted

to tyres of the same size

as those originally fitted to

your vehicle.

Chains may be fitted, provided that

they are specific chains. We would

advise you to consult an approved

Dealer.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an approved dealer

who will be able to advise you on

the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure moni-

tor may take several min-

utes following driving to cor-
