Present the jack horizontally, the jack
head must slide in the lower slot in the
body, as close as possible to the wheel
concerned.
Crank up the jack 1 by hand to align the
base plate (slightly inwards under the
vehicle). Place a plank of wood under
the base plate if on soft ground.
Changing a wheel
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 parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for au-
tomatic transmissions). Ask the pas-
sengers to leave the vehicle 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 2 . Fit it so that
you press downwards rather than pull -
ing upwards.
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.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

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 locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the nuts as fully as possible and check
the tightness as soon as possible (tight-
ening torque 105 Nm).
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.
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Note : ensure that the emergency
spare wheel or punctured wheel and
the wheel tray are correctly posi -
tioned so that the luggage compart-
ment carpet can be properly fitted.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
TYRES (1/3)
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
conform to local road traffic regulations.
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.Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips 1
which are indicators moulded into
the tread at several points. 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.
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.

Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“ E m e r g e n c y s p a r e w h e e l ” a n d
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere 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).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor roadholding;
– risk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
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.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
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.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com -
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals.

Use in winter
Chains
Snow chains must be fitted to the
front wheels.
TYRES (3/3)
It is forbidden to fit snow
chains to only the rear
wheels.
Snow chains may only be
fitted to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to
tyres.
Consult an approved dealer.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe -
sion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes
have a specific direction of rotation
and a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact your approved
Dealer who will be able to advise
you on the choice of equipment
which is most suitable for your ve -
hicle.
