In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the
driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi -
cal to the original one.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-
nering.
– Fitting the damaged wheel into the emergency spare wheel housing will reduce
the vehicle’s ground clearance: avoid driving over any obstacles.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.

– unscrew nut 5 in an anti-clockwise
direction until it comes off com-
pletely, then place the palm of your
hand on section A of handle 6 and
push towards the front of the vehicle,
the wheel will be lowered.
When you push handle 6 ,
the wheel will drop under
the vehicle; risk of injury.
Ensure that everybody is
kept away from the underside of the
vehicle.

Make sure that no-one has
their fingers close to the
cable when you move the
handle: risk of injury.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (3/4)
To refit a wheel
To carry out this operation, the cable
must be unwound.
If the cable has been wound back up on
its own, unwind it again as follows:
– pull the handle to unwind the cable;
– press the button located under
handle 6 to hold the unwound cable,
then guide it down;
– recover the cable from underneath
the vehicle.
You may refit the wheel. Position yourself behind the vehicle and
pull handle
6 to raise the wheel until it is
anchored under the vehicle.
After changing a wheel, position the
replaced wheel on support
9, with the
valve facing the ground. Clip cable 7 in
its housing 8 then push the wheel under
the luggage compartment.
Ensure that tab 10 is positioned to -
wards the rear of the vehicle.

Note: if the tool kit does not lock in
place, check the tightness of nut 5 and
the correct positioning of the handle 6.
Special features
The emergency spare wheel holder
should always be present when you are
driving even when the wheel itself is not
present: risk of water entering the ve -
hicle.
If you have to release it when it is not
holding a wheel, push the centre of the
wheel holder towards the ground while
pressing handle 6.
To lock the system
– Press nut 5 screwing it on fully until
it locks in place. Several turns will
be necessary. This operation is es -
sential to ensure that the wheel is
secure;
– return handle 6 to its original posi -
tion;
– clip the tool kit;
– replace the cover, then lower it and
replace the luggage compartment
carpet.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (4/4)
The system should only be
used with the original ve -
hicle wheels or identical
wheels.
It is essential to lock the nut
so that the wheel is held se-
curely.

Tyre pressure kit
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
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.
A
B
The kit repairs tyres when
tread A has been dam -
aged by objects smaller
than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre
sidewall B.
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 taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt
due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located under -
neath the luggage compartment carpet.
Open the kit, remove the caps 1 and 4
(it is essential not to remove the burst-
ing disc from the bottle) and screw
bottle 2 in place of cap 4.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– unscrew the valve cap of the wheel
concerned and screw on the inflation
adapter 6;
– adapter 8 must be connected to ve-
hicle accessories socket 9;
– press switch 3 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (refer to
the information on “Tyre pressure”);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5). Note: while the bottle is emptying (ap-
proximately 30 seconds), the pressure
gauge
5 will indicate briefly a pressure
of 6 bar, then the pressure drops.

Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.

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.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflation with the kit, to
reduce it, press button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in -
flation adapter 6 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and screw the
hose to the bottle opening to prevent
the product from escaping.
Affix the driving recommendation label
to the dashboard where it can easily be
seen by the driver;
Put the kit away.
At the end of this initial inflation opera -
tion, air will still escape from the tyre.
You must drive a short distance in order
to seal the hole.
Start immediately and drive at between
12 and 40 mph (20 and 60 km/h) in
order to distribute the product evenly
in the tyre and, after driving for 2 miles
(3 km), stop and check the pressure.
If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than the recommended pres -
sure (refer to the label affixed to the
edge of the driver’s door), readjust it.
Otherwise, please contact an author -
ised dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.

Nothing should be placed
around the driver ’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi -
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
