PUNCTURE

Emergency spare wheel

This is stored in cage 3 under the floor

at the rear of the vehicle.
To access it:
– Open the tailgate.
– Undo nut 1 with the wheelbrace

found in the luggage compartment;

refer to the information on “Tools” in

this section;

– Detach the cage using handle 2.
– Remove the emergency spare

wheel 4.

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).

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 which is different to 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 identical 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 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 INFLATION KIT

(1/3)

The kit repairs tyres with

tread A damaged by ob-

jects smaller than

4 mm. It

cannot repair all types of

puncture, such as cuts of more than

4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall B etc.
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 replacing a tyre repaired with

this kit, you must consult a special-

ist. 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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(2/3)

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located in the

boot.

– 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

the 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 vehi-

cle but contact an approved dealer.

1 2 3

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.

Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (it is

essential not to remove the cap from

the bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its sup-

port

With the engine running and the

handbrake applied,
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel

concerned and screw the inflation

adapter 6 onto valve;

– connect adapter 8 to accessories

socket 9 on the dashboard of the ve-

hicle;

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(3/3)

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 10 to the dashboard where it

can easily be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;

– after the first inflation procedure the

tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to

drive in order to plug the hole;

– start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 36 mph (20 and

60 km/h) to distribute the product

evenly throughout the tyre, stopping

after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-

tres) to check the pressure;

– if the pressure is above 1.3 bar but

lower than the recommended pres-

sure, readjust it (refer to the label

affixed to the edge of the driver’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.

Important: a missing or

loose valve cap may com-

promise the tyre seal and

cause a loss of pressure.

Always use valve caps which are

identical to the originals and fully

tightened.

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.

Present the jack horizontally, the jack

head must slide in the lower slot in the

body, as close as possible to the wheel

concerned.
Crank up the jack 1 by hand to align the

base plate (slightly inwards under the

vehicle). Place a plank of wood under

the base plate if on soft ground.

Changing a wheel

Switch on the hazard warn-

ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from

traffic and on a level sur-

face where it will not slip (if neces-

sary, place a solid support under the

jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage

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

tomatic transmissions). Ask the pas-

sengers to leave the vehicle and to

keep away from traffic.

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.

Vehicles equipped with a jack

and wheelbrace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim,

refer to the information on “Wheel trims/

Wheels” in this Section. Undo the wheel

bolts using wheelbrace 2. Fit it so that

you press downwards rather than pull-

ing upwards.

To prevent any risk of injury

or damage to the vehicle,

only crank the jack until the

wheel you are replacing is

a maximum of 3 centimetres off the

ground.

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.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)

TYRES

(1/3)

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 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.

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

which are

indicators moulded into

the tread at several points.

When the tyre tread has been worn

to the level of the warning strips,

they

become visible 2: it is then neces-

sary to replace your tyres because the

tread rubber is now only

1.6 mm deep

at most, resulting in poor road hold-

ing 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.

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.

This practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and

“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

Fitting new tyres

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).

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:
– poor roadholding;
– risk of blowouts or throwing a

tread.

The tyre pressure depends on the

load and speed of use; adjust the

pressures according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the information

on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).

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, assume an in-

crease of

0.2 to 0.3 bar.

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.

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.

Important: a missing or

loose valve cap may com-

promise the tyre seal and

cause a loss of pressure.

Always use valve caps which are

identical to the originals.

Use in winter

Chains
Snow chains must be fitted to the

front wheels.

TYRES

(3/3)

It is forbidden to fit snow

chains to only the rear

wheels.
Snow chains may only be

fitted to tyres of the same size as

those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to

tyres.
Consult an approved dealer.

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.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be

used for a limited period and as laid

down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed

specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact your approved

Dealer who will be able to advise

you on the choice of equipment

which is most suitable for your ve-

hicle.
