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-

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

Position the jack horizontally; the jack
head must be slid into panel jacking
point

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 .

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

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.

It is not advisable to use the free fuse

Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of

If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the electrical

Only use the front 1 and rear towing
points 2 (never use the drive shafts).
These towing points may only be used
for in-line traction: never use them for
lifting the vehicle directly or indirectly.
Towing: breakdown
When the engine is stopped,
steering and braking assist-
ance are not operational.
t he steering wheel must be un-
locked
and the ignition key must be
in
position m (ignition on) to provide
s
top lights and direction indicators
on
the towed vehicle. At night the ve-
hicle
must have its lights on.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact your approved Dealer.
tOWing: breakdown

2
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a
rope or cable is used (where
the law allows this), the ve-
hicle being towed must be
able to brake.
–
A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
–
Avoid accelerating or braking sud -
denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
–
When towing a vehicle, it is ad -
visable not to exceed 1
5 mph
(25 km/h).
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
