You are strongly recom-

mended not to use high-

pressure or spray cleaning

equipment inside the pas-

senger compartment: use of such

equipment could impair the correct

functioning of the electrical or elec-

tronic components in the vehicle, or

have other detrimental effects.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE

(2/2)

You should not:

You are strongly advised not to po-

sition objects such as deodorants,

scents, etc. near air vents, as this could

damage your dashboard trim.

Removal/replacing removable

equipment originally fitted in

the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment in

order to clean the passenger com-

partment (for example, mats), always

ensure that they are correctly refitted

and are the right way around (the dri-

ver’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s

side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-

nents supplied with the equipment (for

example, the driver mat should always

be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting

components).
With the vehicle stationary, ensure that

nothing will impede driving (anything

obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by

the mat, etc.).

In case of puncture

Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-

tion kit or emergency spare wheel is

provided (refer to the following pages).

Special note
The Tyre Pressure Monitor function

does not check the emergency spare

wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-

gency spare wheel disappears from the

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

pressure monitor” in Section 2.

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.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the

other wheels:

– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.

– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehicle’s

ground clearance is reduced.

– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi-

cal to the original one.

– 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 cor-

nering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle

and check the tyre pressure.

Emergency spare wheel A

This is located in the luggage compart-

ment:
–  open the tailgate;
– lift carpet 1 and secure it;
–  unscrew central mounting 2;
–  remove the emergency spare wheel.

PUNCTURE/EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

(1/2)

5.3

PUNCTURE/EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

(2/2)

To refit emergency spare wheel B
Stand the wheel up with the valve to-

wards you. Pass the cable through the

rim and reposition lock 5. Position the

wheel so that valve 6 is nearest the

ground.
From the luggage compartment, tighten

the bolt fully in order to wind the retain-

ing cable, ensuring that the wheel re-

mains horizontal and the cable taut.

Emergency spare wheel B

It is located under the vehicle. In the

luggage compartment, lift cover 3 and

remove the blanking cover. Only use

the wheel brace 4 (using a different tool

could damage the mechanism) to unroll

the retaining cable, making sure it re-

mains taut, and the wheel falls to the

ground.
From outside the vehicle, stand the

wheel up, press lock 5 and rotate it

quarter of a turn. Remove the cable

from the rim to release it.

As the punctured wheel

is wider than the emer-

gency spare wheel, when

you place the punctured

wheel in the emergency spare

wheel bay, the vehicle’s ground

clearance is reduced. To pre-

vent damage, proceed carefully

when driving over raised sections

of road and when dismounting

pavements When this is fitted to

the vehicle, which must only be

a temporary measure, the driv-

ing speed must not exceed the

speed indicated on the label on

the wheel. Replace the emer-

gency spare wheel as soon as

possible with a wheel with the

same dimensions as the original.

5.4

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(1/5)

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.
Do not pull out the foreign body

causing the puncture if it is still in

the tyre.

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 re-

paired, where possible) as soon as

possible by a specialist.
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.

5.5

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(2/5)

Inflation kit E

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located in

storage compartment C or underneath

luggage compartment carpet D.

Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the

cap must not be removed from the

bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its base 3.
Engine running, parking brake ap-

plied:

– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel

concerned and screw inflation

adapter 6 onto the valve;

– connect adapter 8 to the accessories

socket on the dashboard of the vehi-

cle;

– 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 5 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 a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is

not reached after 15 minutes, repair

is not possible; do not drive the ve-

hicle but contact an approved dealer.

2 3 4

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.

If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

your vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with other

devices as per the legislation apply-

ing to the country you are in.

5.6

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(3/5)

Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

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.

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.

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

position on the dashboard, reminds

you of this.

Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

inflation kit may need to be replaced.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

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

again;

– disconnect adapter 8;

– affix driving recommendation label 9

to the dashboard where it can easily

be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;
– at the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre; you must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole;

– start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre and, after

driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and

check the pressure;

– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar

but less than the recommended

pressure (refer to the label affixed to

the edge of the driver’s door), read-

just it. Otherwise, please contact an

authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be

repaired.

Note: after using the inflation kit, you

should visit an approved Dealer to re-

place the inflation hose and the bottle

of repair product.

5.11

CHANGING A WHEEL

(1/2)

Offer up the jack 1 horizontally; the

jack head must be lined up with the

sill, closest to the wheel concerned, as

shown by arrow 2.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to

align the base plate (which should be

pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts

off the ground.

Vehicles equipped with a jack

and wheelbrace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace 3 to slacken off the

wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able

to push from above.

Switch on the hazard warn-

ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from

traffic and on a level surface

where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage

a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-

matic transmissions).

Ask all the passengers to leave the

vehicle and keep them away from

traffic.

If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

your vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with other

devices as per the legislation apply-

ing to the country you are in.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a

jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain

these from your approved dealer.

5.12

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel onto

the hub and rotate it until the mounting

holes in the wheel coincide with those

of the hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency

spare wheel, only use these bolts for

the emergency spare wheel. Tighten

the bolts, checking that the wheel is

correctly positioned on its hub and un-

screw the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten

the bolts fully and have the tightness

of the bolts checked (tightening torque:

110 N.m) and the emergency spare

wheel pressure checked as soon as

possible.

Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these

nearest the valve (wheel embel-

lisher may not be able to fit).

If you have a puncture, re-

place the wheel as soon as

possible.
A tyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a

specialist.

CHANGING A WHEEL

5.13

TYRES

(1/3)

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 tread wear indica-

tors 1 which 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 comply with the local rules given

in the highway code.

When the tread has worn down to the

wear warning strips, these strips will

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at

most, resulting in poor road holding

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.

For your safety, please re-

spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-

pacity and a speed capacity at

least equal to the original tyres,

or correspond to those recom-

mended by your authorised

dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions

could endanger your safety and

affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-

ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-

hicle.

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.

5.14

TYRES

(2/3)

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.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

monitoring system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-

sure, etc.), the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel;

please refer to “Tyre pressure loss

warning” or “Tyre pressure monitoring

system” in Section 2.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on “Puncture”

and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

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.

5.15

TYRES

(3/3)

Use in winter

Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.
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 adhe-

sion.
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.

Chains may only be fitted

to tyres of the same size

as those originally fitted to

your vehicle.

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 to correctly determine

the positions of the wheels and the

pressure values after driving, check

the tyre pressures following any op-

eration.

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.

18” wheels cannot be

fitted with chains.
If you wish to fit snow

chains, you must use spe-

cial equipment.
Consult an approved Dealer.

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.
