TOOLS (1/2)
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.

Offer up the jack 1 horizontally; the 
jack head  must be lined up with the 
sill, closest to the wheel concerned, as 
shown by 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.Vehicles equipped with a jack 
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace  3 to slacken off the 
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able 
to push from above.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from 
traffic and on a level surface 
where it will not slip.
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 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.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a 
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain 
these from your approved dealer.

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel onto 
the hub and rotate it until the mounting 
holes in the wheel coincide with those 
of 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 un-
screw 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.
Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these 
nearest the valve (wheel embel-
lisher may not be able to fit).
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.
