Limit the causes of excessconsumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
According to country, the spare wheel may
be steel or of the "space-saver" type.
To gain access to it, refer to the paragraph
"Access to the tools" on the previous
page.
Fitting the steel or
"space-saver" type spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with al-
loy wheels, it is normal to notice,
when tightening the bolts on fi t-
ting, that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel
or "space-saver" type spare
wheel. The wheel is secured by
the conical contact of each bolt.
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 and clip it.
)
Put the polystyrene storage box
back in place.
)
Refi t the boot fl oor carpet by lightly
folding it in two (refer to the section
"Fittings - § Storage box").
On vehicles equipped with a
"space-saver" type spare wheel,
the punctured wheel cannot be
stowed in place of the "space-
saver" wheel.

does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and not
slippery.
Apply the parking brake, 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

Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
List of operations
)

in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.

Extend the jack 2
until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B
used.

TECHNICAL DATA
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
