In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).Special note
The Tyre Pressure Monitor function
does not check the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre
pressure monitor” in Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it \
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehi\
cle’s ground clearance is reduced.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel ident\
i- cal to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measu\
re, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually r\
uns. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-\
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rea\
r axle and check the tyre pressure.

ment:

To refit emergency spare wheel B
Stand the wheel up with the valve to-
wards you. Pass the cable through the
rim and reposition lock 5. Position the
wheel so that valve 6 is nearest the
ground.
From the luggage compartment, tighten
the bolt fully in order to wind the retain-
ing cable, ensuring that the wheel re-
mains horizontal and the cable taut.

Emergency spare wheel B
It is located under the vehicle. In the
luggage compartment, lift cover 3 and
remove the blanking cover. Only use
the wheel brace 4 (using a different tool
could damage the mechanism) to unroll
the retaining cable, making sure it re-
mains taut, and the wheel falls to the
ground.
From outside the vehicle, stand the
wheel up, press lock 5 and rotate it
quarter of a turn. Remove the cable
from the rim to release it.

As the punctured wheel
is wider than the emer-
gency spare wheel, when
you place the punctured
wheel in the emergency spare
wheel bay, the vehicle’s ground
clearance is reduced. To pre-
vent damage, proceed carefully
when driving over raised sections
of road and when dismounting
pavements When this is fitted to
the vehicle, which must only be
a temporary measure, the driv-
ing speed must not exceed the
speed indicated on the label on
the wheel. Replace the emer-
gency spare wheel as soon as
possible with a wheel with the
same dimensions as the original.
