cHAnGInG A WHeeL (1/2)
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 auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
Put together wheelbrace 1 using the
tools stored in the tool kit: refer to the
information on the “Tool kit” on the pre-

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.
Position the jack horizontally, with the
jack head positioned at the same height
as support 2 provided in the lower sec-
tion of the bodywork, closest to the
wheel concerned.
Start cranking up jack 3 by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Place a plank of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.
Turn the wheelbrace to lift the wheel off
the ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

Weights
Towing weights
WEIgHTs (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment. Consult
your approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Total train weight (MTR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* found by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 750
permissible nose weight* 80
permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 kg (including the carrying device)
* Towing weight (Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the calculation MTR (Total train weight) - MMAC (Maximum permissible all-up weight) is zero\
.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occu\
rs first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%
at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
Weight transfer
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 500 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
