TYRE INFLATION KIT

(4/4)

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 correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation end piece to prevent any product

spatter and store the container in plas-

tic packaging to prevent product leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation

label to the dashboard where it can

easily be seen by the driver;

– put the kit away;

– 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 12.4 and 37.2 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre and, after

driving for 1.86 miles (3 km), stop

and check the pressure;

– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar

but less than the recommended

pressure, re-adjust it (refer to the

label affixed to the edge of the driv-

er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-

proved dealer: repair is not possible.

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.

5.8

Depending on the vehicle, remove the

tool kit or any tools.

To remove the tool kit 1 from the

luggage compartment
If stored behind a flap, open it. Undo

the wheel 2 and pull the tool kit towards

you.

TOOL KIT

(1/2)

Repositioning the tool kit
Put the tool kit pin 4 into the hole 3. Fit

the kit correctly and tighten the wheel 2.

Repositioning the tools
Put them into their slots. Check every-

thing is correctly positioned.

Do not leave the tools un-

secured inside the vehicle

as they may come loose

under braking. After use,

check that all the tools are correctly

clipped into the tool kit, then posi-

tion it correctly in its housing: risk of

injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied with the

emergency spare wheel, it is im-

perative that they are used and that

they are used for the emergency

spare wheel only: refer to the label

affixed to the emergency spare

wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel

changing purposes only. Under no

circumstances should it be used for

carrying out repairs underneath the

vehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.

wheel bolts 2. 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.

CHANGING A WHEEL

(1/2)

Crank up jack 3 by hand to posi-

tion the jack head against the jacking

point closest to the relevant wheel and

marked by an arrow 1.
Continue to crank the jack so that the

baseplate is correctly positioned (it

should be underneath the vehicle and

aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off

the ground.

To prevent any risk of injury

or damage to the vehi-

cle, raise 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.

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.

For vehicles fitted with alloy wheels,

use the guide bolt located in the tool kit

to finish loosening and start tightening

the bolts.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on

the central hub and turn it to align the

mounting holes in the wheel and the

hub.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the

wheel is correctly positioned on its hub.
Lower the jack.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency

spare wheel, only use these bolts for

the emergency spare wheel.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten

the bolts fully and have the tightness of

the bolts checked and the emergency

spare wheel pressure checked as soon

as possible.

CHANGING A WHEEL

(2/2)

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

nearest the valve (wheel trim 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.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-

sure, etc.), the warning light



lights up on the instrument panel. See

“Tyre pressure loss warning” in

Section 2.

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 make sure that your tyres conform

to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been eroded

to the level of the warning strips, they

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

profile is no more than 1.6 mm deep

and this causes 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.

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)

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.

Tyre pressures

Respect 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,

described in the information on “Tyre

pressures” in Section 4).

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

pressures according to the condi-

tions of use (refer to the information

on “Tyre pressures”).

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.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-

sure, etc.), the warning light



lights up on the instrument panel. See

“Tyre pressure loss warning” in

Section 2.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on the

“Emergency spare wheel” and in-

structions on “Changing a wheel” in

Section 5.

5.15

– 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.

TYRES

(3/3)

Use in winter

– Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly

forbidden.
Chains must not 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

grip.
Note: be aware that these tyres may

sometimes have:
– a direction of travel ;
– 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.
Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres. 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.

Fitting new tyres

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.
