Interior trim maintenance
Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
InteRIoR tRIM MAIntenAnCe (1/2)
textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as 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.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow -
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.

Puncture
Emergency spare wheel
Puncture/eMerGencY SPAre WHeeL (1/2)
In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in -
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
If you have an emergency spare wheel,
you need to use tool A comprising
ratchet spanner 2 and end-piece 1.
nB: using other tools could damage the
mechanism)
These components are stored in the
tool kit in the luggage compartment
(refer to the information on the “Took
kit” in Section 5). Ensure that the end piece 1 is securely
attached to the ratchet spanner
2.
The ratchet spanner has one direction
for tightening and another for loosen -
ing. Reverse the direction of the oper -
ation when moving from loosening to
tightening and vice versa.
emergency spare wheel B
It is located under the vehicle.
– In the luggage compartment, lift
cover 3;
– remove the blanking cover;
– use tool A and turn it until the wheel
retaining cable unwinds and the
wheel drops to the ground; –
stand the wheel up outside the vehi-
cle;
– press on lock 4 and turn it a quarter
of a turn
– run the retaining cable across the
wheel rim and release the wheel;
– depending on the vehicle, take out
the shim from inside the wheel rim.
n ote: depending on the vehicle, the
shim on the top of the emergency spare
wheel should only be repositioned with
this emergency spare wheel; it should
not be used with the punctured wheel.

t o refit the emergency spare
wheel
Proceed in the reverse order.
– stand the punctured wheel up, with
valve 5 towards you;
– run the cable across and reposition
lock 4;
– lie the wheel down, with valve 5
facing the ground;
– in the luggage compartment, use the
tool to completely to rewind the re -
taining cable. Advice
Check the pressure of the emergency
spare wheel regularly.
note:
The bolts for the aluminium wheel may
be used to secure the steel emergency
spare wheel.
using the emergency spare
wheel
The “tyre pressure monitor” function
does not monitor the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel and/or the information
display). Refer to the information on the
“Tyre pressure monitor” in Section 2.
Special note
Using an emergency spare wheel may
disrupt certain functions (automatic
gearbox, etc.).
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.

Vehicles fitted with an
emergency spare wheel
which is different to the
four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emer -
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with
a wheel identical to the original
one.
– 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 wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the ve -
hicle usually runs. Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when corner-
ing.
– If you need to use snow chains,
fit the emergency spare wheel to
the rear axle and check the tyre
pressure.

BAtter Y: troubleshooting (continued)
connecting a battery charger
t he battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with a nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
It is essential to disconnect both bat -
tery leads from the terminals (engine
stopped) starting with the negative
terminal.
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.
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.
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 electrical equip -
ment which 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 a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them con-
nected 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. If your vehicle is to be left stationary
for a relatively long time, disconnect
the battery or have it recharged regu
-
larly, particularly during cold weather.
The equipment with a memory, radio
etc. will then have to be reprogrammed.
The battery must be stored in a cool dry
place, protected from frost.
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.
