Fixing the steel or "space-
saving" type spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, it is normal to notice, when
tightening the bolts on fi tting, that the
washers do not come into contact
with the steel or "space-saving" type
spare wheel. The wheel is secured by
the conical contact of each bolt.
Access to the spare wheel (SW)
The spare wheel is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
According to model, the spare wheel
may be steel or of the "space saving"
type.
To gain access to it, refer to the para-
graph "Access to the tools".
Taking out the wheel

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt.

 Raise the spare wheel towards you
from the rear.

 Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the wheel back in place

 Put the wheel back in its housing.

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a
few turns then put it in place in the
centre of the wheel.

 Tighten fully until the central bolt
clicks to retain the wheel correctly.

 Put the box back in place in the centre
of the wheel.

Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor. The punctured wheel

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffi c: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery.
Apply the handbrake, switch off the
ignition and engage fi rst gear * to
lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that
the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.

raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
