Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come
loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for the emergency
spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
– Unlock the wheel bolts using the
wheel wrench 3. Position it so as to
be able to push from above;
– line jack 4 up horizontally, the jack
head must be positioned at the
same height as plate mounting 1, as
close as possible to the wheel con -
cerned, indicated by an arrow 2;
– start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle);
– turn the wheelbrace until the wheel
lifts off the ground;
– undo the bolts and 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.
Changing a wheel
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.

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 not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
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)
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.
anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (wheel embel -
lisher may not be able to fit).
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 wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness
of the bolts checked (tightening torque:
110 N.m) and the emergency spare
wheel pressure checked as soon as
possible.

tyre pressuresAdhere 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). 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, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PsI).
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.Fitting new tyres
emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
tyres (2/3)
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
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.
