BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)
On equipped vehicles, this is located
underneath the chassis.
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.
In some cases (puncture at the rear,
vehicle with towing equipment, etc.)
it may be necessary to lift the vehi-
cle beforehand (via the lifting point
closest to the affected wheel) to pro-
vide access to the emergency spare
wheel (please refer to the informa-
tion on “changing a wheel: vehicle
with standard wheels” in Section 5).

To remove the emergency spare
wheel
– Insert the end of the unlocking key 3
extended (depending on the vehicle)
by the hexagonal extension piece 5
and the wheelbrace 6 in location 1
or 4 (the use of other tools could
damage the mechanism);
– lower the emergency spare wheel fully;
– unclip the component 2 on the wheel
rim;
– thread the component 2 through the
wheel rim (as shown in A) to release
the wheel.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (2/2)
– centre the component 2 in the middle
of the wheel and clip it to the wheel
rim;
– lift the retaining cable up as far as it will go and check the wheel is com-
pletely secure.
Note: do not place a punctured wheel
with aluminium wheel rims in the emer-
gency spare wheel winch. Ensure the
winch is refitted correctly.
To fit a wheel
Proceed in the reverse order.
– place the wheel flat underneath the
vehicle. The valve 7 must be facing
you. Risk of losing the wheel;
– thread the cable and the compo- nent 2 through the wheel rim;

Place the punctured wheel
flat on the ground. The

TOOL KIT
Location of the tool kit
Tool kit 1 is located under the driver’s
seat.
To remove the tools, move the seat
forward and fold down the seatback
(please refer to the information on the
“Front seats” in Section 1).
Contents of the tool kit(depending on the vehicle)
– hydraulic jack 2;
– towing hitch 3;
– hubcap tool 4;
1
Do not leave the tools unsecured 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 position it correctly in its housing: ri\
sk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, you must only use these bol\
ts 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 underside of the vehicle.
Nothing should be placed
on the floor area in front of
the driver as such objects
may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/6)
A
B
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and
repaired, where possible) by a spe-
cialist.
When taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt
due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.The kit is only approved
for inflating the tyres of the
vehicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-
dling the repair liquid bottle. If dro-
plets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.
The kit repairs tyres when
tread A has been da-
maged by objects smaller
than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre si-
dewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.

5.9
TYRE INFLATION KIT (5/6)
Inflation kit E
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the inflation kit loca-
ted underneath the driver’s seat.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
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 ap-
plying to the country you are in.
With the engine running and the par-
king brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 14 to
the container’s inlet 19;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 19 to the compressor
from the container recess 18;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rele- vant wheel and screw on the contai-
ner’s inflation adapter 12;
– disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories sockets;
– adapter 13 must be connected to
the vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 15 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);
1516
1219
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 16).
Note: while the container is emp-
tying (approximately 30 seconds),
the pressure gauge 16 will briefly in-
dicate a pressure of up to 6 bar. The
pressure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 17.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer.

WHEEL TRIMS (1/2)
Wheel trim 2(concealed wheel bolts)
Remove it using hubcap tool 1 (found
in the tool kit), by pushing the hook into
the opening located near the valve (to
reach the metal retaining wire located
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 D.Central wheel trim 4(concealed wheel bolts)
Remove it using hubcap tool 1, insert-
ing the tool into the recesses 3 pro-
vided.
To refit it, align it with the wheel bolts,
clip it in and check it is securely locked.
