Tool kit
t OOl KIt
The tools are located in the luggage
compartment under the luggage com -
partment carpet.
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle. Jack 1
Fold the jack away correctly before
storing it in its housing.
Jack handle 2
t
owing hitch 3
Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.
wheelbrace 4
Allows the wheel bolts to be locked/un-
locked.
note: depending on the vehicle, tools 2
and 4 are stored in a bag.
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.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances
should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to gain access
to the underside of the vehicle.

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-

Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from

To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehi -

wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a

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.
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 screws as fully as possible and
check the tightness as soon as possi -
ble (tightening torque 108 N.m).
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 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.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
tyres (1/3)
maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our techni -
cal department have tread wear indica -
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
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 the tyre tread has been worn to
the level of the wear indicators,
they
become visible 2 : it is then neces -
sary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is 1.6 mm deep at most,
resulting in poor roadholding 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.
When they need to be re -
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
t yres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
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.

Section 5.
changing wheels around
Vehicles fitted with the
tyre pressure monitors
The tyre pressure moni -
tor takes around 8 min -
utes to identify that tyres have been
swapped or replaced. The system
will not operate during this time.
While the tyre pressure monitor is
identifying the tyres which have
been replaced, the information sent
by the system may be inaccurate
and this could have serious conse-
quences.
tyres (2/3)
t yre 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 road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures”).
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.
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.

studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation. It is neces -
sary to observe the speed specified by
current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.use in winter
chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
chains cannot be fitted to tyres which
are larger than those originally fitted to
the vehicle.
snow or w inter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe -
sion.
w arning: 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.
tyres (3/3)
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Fitting new tyres
Always ensure tyres with identi -
cal specifications are fitted to all four
wheels (brand, size, structure, wear
etc.). Fitting tyres of different sizes to
the front and rear wheels and/or left
and right wheels may have serious
consequences for the tyres, gearbox,
transfer gearbox and the rear differen-
tial pinions.
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.
When changing a tyre, make sure all four tyres are changed at the same
time in order to preserve the transmission system.
