From the exterior of the vehicle, stand

the wheel up, pass the cable and the

component 8 through the wheel rim and

release the wheel.

To put the spare wheel back C
To carry out this operation, the cable

must be unwound.
Stand the wheel up with the valve to-

wards you. Thread the cable and the

component 8 through the wheel rim. Lie

the wheel down with the valve towards

the ground.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

(3/3)

Reposition the blanking cover then the

cover 7.
For vehicles fitted with a servo, replace

the servo 5. Tighten the three screws 4.

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.

As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, when

you place the punctured wheel in the emergency spare wheel bay, the

vehicle’s ground clearance is reduced. To prevent damage, proceed ca-

refully 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 driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label

on the wheel. Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a

wheel with the same dimensions as the original.

5.5

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(1/4)

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 product bottle. If

droplets 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.

5.6

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(2/4)

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located in

storage compartment C or underneath

luggage compartment carpet D.

Before using the kit, park

the vehicle at a sufficient

distance from traffic, switch

on the hazard warning

lights, apply the parking brake, 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.

With the engine running and the

parking brake applied,
– connect the compressor hose 2 to

the container’s inlet 7;

– remove the cap from the container

inflation adapter 1;

– unscrew the valve cap on the rel-

evant wheel and screw on the con-

tainer’s inflation end piece 1;

– disconnect any accessories previ-

ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-

cessories sockets;

– the end piece 5 must be plugged in

to the vehicle accessories socket;

3 4

– press the switch 3 to inflate the

tyre to the recommended pressure

(please refer to the information about

“Tyre Pressures” in Section 4);

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 4).
Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), the

pressure gauge 4 will indicate briefly

a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-

sure drops.

– Adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflation with the kit; to

reduce it, press button 6.

5.7

If the recommended pressure of

1.8 bar cannot be achieved after

15 minutes, repair is impossible. Do

not drive the vehicle. Consult an au-

thorised dealer.

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(3/4)

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.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: unscrew the inflation

adapter slowly from the container 1 to

prevent any product spatter and store

the container in plastic packaging to

prevent product leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation

label (located under the container) to

the dashboard where the driver can

see it.

– 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 a

speed of 12.4 to 37.2 mph (20 to

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre; after driv-

ing a distance of 1.86 miles (3 km),

stop and check the pressure.

– If the pressure is higher than 1.3 bar

but lower than the recommended

pressure (refer to the label affixed to

the edge of the driver’s door), adjust

it. Otherwise, contact an approved

dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.

5.8

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.
The container must be replaced after

the first use even if liquid remains

inside.

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(4/4)

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.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and may

lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

5.9

TOOLS

(1/2)

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 in the tool

kit, you must use these bolts, and

only these, for the emergency spare

wheel: 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.

The presence of the tools depends on

the vehicle.

Jack 1

Fold it correctly before refitting it in its

housing (ensure that the wheelbrace is

correctly positioned 2).

Hubcap tool 3

This tool is used to remove the wheel

trims.

Screw guide 4

taining the tools into its housing. Check

that the assembly is correctly posi-

tioned (to avoid noise).

After use, reposition the bag 7

against the partition and tighten the

strap 8, pulling its free end towards

the vehicle interior.

5.11

WHEEL TRIM

Wheel trim

Remove it using the hubcap tool 3 by

connecting the hook in the recess pro-

vided next to the valve 1 (to attach the

metal clip).
Note: if you are using anti-theft bolts,

refer to the information on “Changing a

wheel”.

To refit it, align it with the valve 1 and

the wheel bolts 2. Push in the centre of

the wheel trim to clip the centre section

around the wheel bolts. Push in the re-

taining hooks located around the edge

of the trim. Firmly push in the centre of

the wheel trim again to ensure that the

central clips locate correctly above the

heads of the wheel bolts.
Note: if your vehicle is fitted with anti-

theft bolts, always fix them in place of

one of the wheel bolts 2.

5.12

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 authorised dealer.

5.13

CHANGING A WHEEL

(2/2)

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.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the

wheel is correctly positioned on its hub

and unscrew the jack.
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.

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.

5.14

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.

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 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.

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.

5.15

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).

The pressures should be checked cold:

ignore higher pressures which may be

reached in hot weather or following a

high speed journey.
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.

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
In cases of under-inflation (puncture,

low pressure, etc.), warning light



lights up on the instrument panel.

Please refer to the information on the

“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in

Section 2.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on “Puncture”

and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

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.

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.

5.16

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.

Snow 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.

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.

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.
