Emergency spare wheel
Label 4 reminds you of how to op- erate the emergency spare wheel winch.
Do not touch the exhaust as it could burn.
– pull the wheel towards you,
– lay the wheel down flat and unfasten
cable 7 from its housing 8.
You may remove the wheel from its support.

Do not leave the tools unsecured 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 position it correctl\
y in its housing: there is a 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 un- derneath the vehicle or to gain access to the underside of the vehicle.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the “Emergency spare wheel” and instruc- tions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
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.
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 (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
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 the originals and screw them down fully.
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).
Tyre pressuresAdhere 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).

Insert the key in the ignition switch, or the card in the reader, to unlock the steering wheel and use the sig- nalling lights (brake lights, indica- tors, etc.). The towed vehicle’s lights must be switched on at night.
The speed specified by current legisla- tion for towing must always be observed. If your vehicle is the towing vehicle, do not exceed the maximum towing weight for your vehicle (refer to the information on “Weights” in Section 6).
Only use the front towing points 3 and rear towing points 4 (never use the drive shafts). These towing points may only be used for towing: never use them for lifting the vehicle directly or in- directly.
Access to towing pointsUnclip by pulling towards you and lift
cover 1 or 5 (depending on the vehi- cle).Screw in towing hitch 2 fully: as much as possible by hand at first, then finish by tightening it using the wheelbrace.
Towing hitch 2 and the wheelbrace are located under the luggage compartment carpet in the tool kit (refer to the infor- mation on the “Tool kit” in Section 5).

by pushing the vehicle);
– switch off the ignition.
The vehicle should always be towed with the ignition switched off.
If you cannot engage neutral, the vehi- cle must be towed with its front wheels off the ground.
Permissible nose weight, maxi- mum permissible towing weight, braked and unbraked: refer to the i n f o r m a t i o n o n “ We i g h t s ” i n
