Label A

Open the driver’s door to read it.

Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold.

If the tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, increase the pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI). Never deflate a hot tyre.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure loss warning system

If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure, etc.), the warning light lights up on the instrument panel. See “Tyre pressure loss warning” in Section 2.

B: front tyre pressure when driving (non-motorway), or if less than 4 people occupy the vehicle.

C: rear tyre pressure when driving (non-motorway), or if less than 4 people occupy the vehicle.

D: tyre pressures for the front wheels (motorway) or when driving with a significant load.

E: tyre pressures for the rear wheels (motorway) or when driving with a significant load.

Vehicle used fully laden (Maximum Permissible All-up Weight) and towing a trailer

The maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure increased by 0.2 bar.

Refer to the information on “Weights” in Section 6.

Risk of tyre blowouts.

Tyre safety and use of snow chains

Refer to the information on “Tyres” in Section 5 for the servicing conditions and, depending on the version, the use of chains.

For your safety, please respect the speed limit.

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used on a single axle.

They must: either have a load capacity and speed rating at least equal to those of the original tyres, or conform to those recommended by an authorised dealer.

Failure to heed these instructions could endanger your safety and affect your vehicle’s roadworthiness.

Risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
