CHANGING A WHEEL
Park the vehicle away from traffic and on level ground which is not slippery (place a plank under the jack if necessary). Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Apply the hand brake and engage a gear (first or reverse).
Ask all the passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.
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.
Remove the wheel trim (refer to the in- formation on “Wheel trims”).
Use the wheelbrace
1 to slacken off the wheel bolts. Fit it so that you press downwards rather than pulling up- wards.
Present the jack horizontally, the jack head must slide in the lower slot in the body, as close as possible to the wheel concerned.
Crank up the jack
2 by hand to align the base plate (slightly inwards under the vehicle). Place a plank of wood under the base plate if on soft ground.
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts off the ground.
Remove the bolts.
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 wheels on the ground, tighten the nuts as fully as possible and check the tightness as soon as possible (tight- ening torque 105 Nm).

TYRES
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 con- form to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be re- placed, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.
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 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2: it is then neces- sary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road hold- ing 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.
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.

This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the “ E m e r g e n c y s p a r e w h e e l ” a n d “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
TYRES (continued)
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be respected. Tyre pressures for all wheels (including the spare wheel) must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey (refer to the information on “Tyre pressures” at the beginning of this document).
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 blowouts or throwing a
tread.
Tyre pressures depend on the load and the driving speed. Adjust the pressures according to the condi- tions of use. (Refer to the informa- tion on “Tyre pressures” at the be- ginning of this document).
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, assume an in- crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country or model) fixed to the edge or frame of the driver’s door gives the recommended tyre pressures.
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.
– Heavy steering.
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.
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.

Use in winter
– Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden.
Chains must not be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.
TYRES (continued)
Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres. Contact an approved dealer.
– Snow or winter tyres
We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.
NB: we would point out that these tyres may sometimes have:
– a specific direction of rotation
– 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 necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend that you contact your approved dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.

– Lift the wiper arm 3.
– Turn the wiper blade until it is hori
- zontal.
– Press tab
2 and slide the wiper blade
downwards to release hook 4 from the wiper arm.
– Slide the blade (
A) then lift it (B) to release it.
– Before using the rear wiper, check that no object being transported is ob- structing the travel of the blade.
– In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid the risk of the motor overheating).
– Monitor the condition of the
blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as they begin to lose ef- ficiency (approximately once a year).
– When changing the blade, when it
has been removed, do not let the wiper arm fall against the window:
risk of breaking the window.
– Do not lift the front wiper arms
beyond their stable position.
Clean the windscreen and rear screen regularly.

Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic glass, use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them.
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, dry off carefully with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco- hol must not be used under any cir- cumstances.
