Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off the ground.Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.Fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub.Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.With the wheel on the ground, fully tighten the bolts and check they are correctly tightened as quickly as possi- ble (tightening torque 110 Nm).
Changing a wheel
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.
Switch on the hazard warn- ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from traffic and on a level sur- face where it will not slip (if neces- sary, place a solid support under the jack base).
Apply the hand 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.

Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (otherwise it may not be possible to fit the wheel trim).
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.Depending on the vehicle, position adapter 1 on the wheel bolt.Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 2. Position it so as to be able to push from above.
Crank up jack 3 by hand to position the
jack head against jacking point 4 clos- est to the wheel concerned and, de- pending on the vehicle, marked by an
arrow 5.Continue to crank the jack so that the baseplate is correctly positioned (it should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with jack head A).

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 con- form to local road traffic regulations.
When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2: it is then neces- sary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road hold- ing 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.
Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by our Technical D e p a r t m e n t h a v e w e a r w a r n i n g strips 1 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.
TYRES (1/3)

When they need to be re- placed, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.
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.

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).

Due to their reduced accessibility (sometimes requiring the removal of bodywork or mechanical components),
we advise you to have your bulbs 7 re- placed by an approved Dealer.
Bulb type: H7.

Remove cover E , then pull bulb holder 6 to access the bulb.
Bulb type: W5W.

Turn bulb holder F a quarter of a turn and take out the bulb.
Bulb type: orange PY21 W.
Once the bulb has been replaced, check that it is properly secured.
The bulbs are under pres- sure and can break when replaced.

Remove the fuse using tweezers 2, lo- cated on the cover.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers, slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse locations.
Fuses
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if neces- sary, by a fuse of the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted with too high a rating, it may cause the electrical circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using an excessive amount of current.

Fuse box 1
If electrical equipment does not work, check the condition of the fuses.
Depending on the vehicle, open the cover to the right of the steering wheel or the glove box.
To identify the fuses, refer to the fuse allocation sticker (shown on the follow- ing page).

To avoid all risk of sparks:
– ensure that any consumers are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery;
– when charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting the battery;
– to avoid creating a short circuit be
- tween the terminals, do not place metal objects on the battery;
– always wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery;
– make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (3/4)
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap- proved Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion and charge the battery in a well-venti- lated area. Risk of serious injury.
If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. It will then be necessary, with the engine run- ning, to move the steering wheel slowly, from lock to lock and to reprogram the electronic equipment with a memory feature, radio, etc. The battery should be stored in a cool and dry location pro- tected from frost.
Note: if you have disconnected or re- charged a battery, move the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock to reset the system.
Have the battery’s charge status checked regularly:
– especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving in town;
– when the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use the electrical equipment that is really necessary;
– finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, after- sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact an approved Dealer.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com- patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon- nect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc- tions given by the manufacturer for the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-main- tained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.
