The tyre replacement indicator is not a substitute for
regular tyre checks, including tyre pressure checks.
See “Changing tyres and wheels” in the “8. Mainte-

cluding tyre inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tyre wear and when tyres should
be replaced. Setting the tyre replacement indicator
for a certain driving distance does not mean your tyres
will last that long. Use the tyre replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular tyre
checks. Failure to perform regular tyre checks, includ-
ing tyre pressure checks could result in tyre failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious personal injury

SAFETY CHAINS
Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be crossed and
should be attached to the hitch, not to the ve-
hicle bumper or axle. Be sure to leave enough
slack in the chain to permit turning corners.
TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as re-
quired by local regulations. Also check that all
other trailer equipment conforms to local regu-
lations.
Always block the wheels on both the vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the hand brake on
the trailer where fitted. Parking on a steep slope
is not recommended.
WARNING
If the engine is not running or is turned off while driv-
ing, the power assist for the steering will not work.
The steering will be harder to operate.
