5.6

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 lead

to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

TOOLS

(2/2)

/WHEEL TRIM

Wheel trim

Remove using the hubcap tool 6 by

connecting the hook in the recess pro-

vided next to the valve 8 (to secure the

metal clip).
To refit the wheel trim, align it with

valve 8. Push the retaining hooks in

fully, starting with side A near the valve,

followed by B and C, finishing at D op-

posite the valve.
Note: if you are using anti-theft bolts,

refer to the information on “Changing a

wheel”.

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, only use these bolts 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.

5.9

CHANGING A WHEEL

(1/2)

Crank up the jack by hand at first to

align the base plate (which should be

inclined further inwards than the jack

head).
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 2 to slacken off the

wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able

to push from above.
Place the jack 3 horizontally; the jack

head must be lined up with the sill clos-

est to the wheel concerned, as shown

by an arrow 1.

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.

5.10

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 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.

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.

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.

5.12

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 missing

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.

5.13

TYRES

(3/3)

For safety reasons, this

operation 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.

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 authorised

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 and larger

cannot be fitted with

chains.
If you wish to use special

equipment, consult an approved

dealer.
