For more information on the Tool kit, refer
to the corresponding section.
Accessing the spare wheel

The spare wheel is stored in the boot, under the
floor.
To access the spare wheel, first refer to the Tool
kit section.
Depending on version, the spare wheel
may be a standard size steel or alloy
wheel.
In some countries, it is a ‘space saver’ wheel.
Removing the spare wheel

►  Slacken the central nut.
►  Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).
►  Lift the spare wheel towards the back of the
boot.
►  Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the spare wheel back in place

► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
►  Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
►  Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
►  Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
►  Put the tool box back in place in the middle of
the wheel and clip it in place.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Select mode P on the automatic gearbox to
lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.

176
In the event of a breakdown08
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle and
wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel trim,
starting by placing its aperture in line with the
valve and then pushing it into place all round
its edge with the palm of your hand.




►  To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of the
bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
►  Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to
slacken the security bolt.
►  Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.
Never use an impact wrench on the
security bolt socket.


►  Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.


►  Extend jack 6 until its head comes into contact
with jacking point A or B; contact area A or B on
the vehicle must be properly inserted into the
central part of the head of the jack.
►  Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space
between the wheel and the ground to easily admit
the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!
