Interior trim maintenance
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad -
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use soapy water (if possible,
warm water) containing:
Do not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol -
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics regularly.
Liquid stains
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial immediately and carefully using
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

Tyre inflation kit
TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/3)
The kit repairs tyres with
tread A damaged by ob -
jects smaller than 4 mm. It
cannot repair all types of
puncture, such as cuts of more than
4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall B etc.
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 replacing a tyre repaired with
this kit, you must consult a special-
ist. When driving, vibration may be
felt due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.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 liquid bottle. If drop-
lets 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.

Changing a wheel
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Park the vehicle away from
traffic on firm, flat, non-slip -
pery ground (if necessary, place a
solid support under the jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse gear).
Ask the passengers to leave the ve-
hicle and to keep away from traffic.
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.
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim,
refer to the information on “Wheel trims
- Wheels” in this Section. Undo the
wheel bolts using wheelbrace 4 . Fit it
so that you press downwards rather
than pulling upwards. Mark hole
1 , which is the nearest to
the wheel in question. The jack must
be fitted in this location. Offer up jack 3
horizontally and position jack head 2
under the sill.
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.
Remove the bolts.
Take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on
the central hub and turn it to align the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
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.

Battery: troubleshooting
BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour -
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect -
ing 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 and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car -
rying out operations in close prox -
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of serious injury.
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.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al -
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply -
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed. Connect the positive (+) lead
A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-
plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
Check that there is no con-
tact between leads A and B
and that the positive lead A
is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the
vehicle.
