PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL
Emergency spare wheel 4This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
– Open the tailgate, lift the floor
carpet 1, then remove the cover 2;
– unscrew mounting 3 by turning it an-
ticlockwise and remove it;
– if the vehicle is fitted with speaker 5,
remove the adhesive tape then place
it to the side;
– remove the emergency spare
wheel 4.
Vehicles fitted with an
emergency spare wheel
smaller than the four
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emer-
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with a
wheel with the same dimensions
as the original.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle,
which must only be a temporary
measure, the driving speed must
not exceed the speed indicated
on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the ve-
hicle usually runs. Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when corner-
ing.
– If snow chains must be used, fit
the emergency spare wheel on
the rear axle in order to have a
normal size wheel at the front
then check the tyre pressure.
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.

Special note
The tyre pressure monitor does not
check the emergency spare wheel
(the wheel replaced by the emergency
spare wheel disappears from the instru-
ment panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre
pressure monitor” in Section 2.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in-
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
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)
Tyre 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.

OPERATING FAULTS (3/5)
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged.Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
White smoke from the exhaust. This is not necessarily a fault. Smoke
may be caused by regeneration of the
particle filter.Refer to the information on “Special fea-
tures of diesel versions” in Section 2.
Smoke under the bonnet. Short-circuit or cooling system leak.Stop, switch off the ignition, stand away
from the vehicle and contact an approved
dealer.
The oil pressure warning light comes
on:

tion on “Engine oil level – Topping up/refill-
ing” in Section 4).

Maximum permissible all-up weight
Towing weight unbraked750

Permissible load on the roof with the carrying device85 kg (including the carrying device)
Towing weight (Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact your approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– For vehicles fitted with a trailer, the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded. However, the following is
tolerated:
– rear axle maximum permissible weight exceeded by no more than 15%,
– maximum permissible all-up weight exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 kph) and the tyre pressures must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%
at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter. The weights indicated are those of a basic model without options: they will vary depending on the equipment level of
your vehicle. Consult an authorised dealer.
