tYre InFLA tIOn KIt (5/5)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in -
flation adapter 11 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre -
vent 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 op-
eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at be -
tween 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
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised 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.
11
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.

t OOLS
The tools for changing a wheel are lo-
cated in the luggage compartment
under the carpets. When storing the
tools, ensure the jack is correctly
clipped in, with base plate B towards
the bottom.
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle.
Jack 1
Fold it and position retainer A correctly
before refitting it in its housing.

This tightens or releases the tow eye 3.
t ow eye 3
Please see “Towing: breakdown recov-
ery” in Section 5.
Hubcap tool 4
This tool is used to remove the wheel
trims.
Wheelbrace 5
Allows the wheel bolts to be locked/un-
locked.
Wheel locking nut
Storage compartments are provided in
the support to house these.
Do not leave the tools un -
secured 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 posi -
tion it correctly in its housing: 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 un-
derside of the vehicle.
Nothing should be placed
on the floor area in front of
the driver as such objects
may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

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.
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

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 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.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)
tYreS
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips 1
that are indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
t yre 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 eroded
to the level of the warning strips,
they
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
profile is no more than 1.6 mm deep
and this causes poor road holding
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.

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

Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
tYreS (continued)
t yre 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).
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”).
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.

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 Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe -
sion.
Warning: 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.
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.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
If your vehicle is originally fitted
with tyres with a diameter of 17”,
snow chains may be used (but only
specific chains). Consult an ap -
proved dealer.
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.
changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Vehicles fitted with the
tyre pressure monitor
Each of the sensors incor -
porated in the valves is ded-
icated to a single wheel: under no
circumstances should you swap the
wheels, without having the system
reset.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con -
sequences.
