Puncture
The jack is designed for
wheel changing purposes
only. It should never be
used for repairs or gain-
ing access to the underneath of the
vehicle.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.
Jack 6
This is located in compartment 7 inside
the emergency spare wheel.
When replacing in its location, fold the
jack completely after use.
Emergency spare wheel 3  
under
 the vehicle
This is stored in cradle 4 under the floor
at the rear of the vehicle.
To access the emergency spare wheel:
–

Open the tailgate;
– undo nut 2 using the wheelbrace;
–

detach the cage using handle 5;
–

remove emergency spare wheel.
Wheelbrace 1
This is located in the engine compart-
ment and is used to remove wheel
bolts,
to release the cage 4 which holds
the emergency spare wheel in place
and to fit the jack in position.

by the arrows.
Turn it so that the retaining brackets
holding it in place behind the wheel
bolts are released.
To refit the hubcap, proceed in reverse
order.

Wheel trim 1(concealed wheel bolts)
Remove it using hubcap tool 2 (located
under the tool kit), by pushing the hook
into the opening located near the valve
(to reach the metal retaining wire lo-
cated behind the wheel trim).
To refit it, align it with the valve. Push the
retaining

hooks, starting with side A on
the
valve side, then B
and C and finish
with the side opposite the valve

ack 3 and turn a few times to lift the
wheel 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.
Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the nuts up completely and check the
torque as soon as possible (tightening
torque 105 Nm).
Changing a wheel
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.

Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if neces-
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
Remove the wheel trim. Refer to the in-
formation on “Wheels - Wheel trim” in
Section 5.
Undo the wheel bolts using wheel-
brace

1, pressing downwards.
Position the jack horizontally; the jack
head must be slid into panel jacking
point

2 provided in the lower section of
the bodywork closest to the wheel con-
cerned.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Place a plank of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.

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 con-
form to local road traffic regulations. When the tyre tread has been worn to
the level of the wear indicators,
t hey  
become
  visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is no
 more  than 1.6 mm  deep,   
resulting
  in  poor  roadholding  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.
Tyres
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.
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  
o
riginally  or  conform  to  those   
r
ecommended  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 tread wear indica-
t

ors 1 which are i ndicators moulded   
into
 the tread at several points .

tyrEs (2/3)
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 P
si).

hicle, there is an adapter which must be
positioned on the valve before adding
air.
Fitting new tyres
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on “Puncture”
and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
t yre pressuresRespect the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). Check
them at least once a month and before
a long journey (refer to the label on 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:
–

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.

We would recommend that these be

This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation. It is neces-

current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
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.

To comply with local legislation, or
as a precaution, you can obtain an
emergency kit containing a set of
spare bulbs and fuses from an ap-
proved Dealer.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
The bulbs are under pres-
sure and can break when
