In the event of a puncture, there is 
either an emergency spare wheel or 
tyre inflation kit available, depending on 
the vehicle (refer to the information in 
the following pages).
Emergency spare wheel 2
This is stored in cage  4 under the floor 
at the rear of the vehicle.
To access the emergency spare 
wheel
–  Open the tailgate.
–  Undo the nut with the wheelbrace  1.
–  Detach the cage using handle  3.
– Release the emergency spare  wheel.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure 
loss warning system 
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light 
 
lights up on the instrument panel. See 
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in 
Section 2.
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 apply-
ing to the country you are in.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/4)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event 
of a puncture, use the kit located in the 
glove box or in the luggage compart-
ment, in rear wheel arch C or D.
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 apply-
ing to the country you are in.

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure 
(on the pressure gauge  2).
Note: while the bottle is emptying 
(approximately 30 seconds), the 
pressure gauge  2 will indicate briefly 
a pressure of  6 bar, then the pres-
sure drops;
– Adjust the pressure: to increase  it, continue inflation with the kit. To 
reduce it, press the button 1.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is 
not reached after 15 minutes, repair 
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Engine running, parking brake ap-
plied:
–  Refer to the information on the infla- tion kit compressor and follow the in-
structions;
–  inflate the tyre to the recommended  pressure (please refer to the infor-
mation in the section on “Tyre pres-
sures”);

To remove the wheel trims.
Screw guide 6
To finish loosening or starting to tighten 
the wheel bolts.
Tow eye 7
Refer to the information on the “Towing: 
breakdown” in Section 5.

To undo the wheel bolt and the emer-
gency spare wheel cage nut.

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel. 
For vehicles fitted with alloy wheels, 
use the guide bolt located in the tool kit 
to finish loosening and start tightening 
the bolts.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on 
the central hub and turn it to align the 
mounting holes in the wheel and the 
hub.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the 
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub. 
Lower the jack.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency 
spare wheel, only use these bolts for 
the emergency spare wheel.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten 
the bolts fully and have the tightness of 
the bolts checked and the emergency 
spare wheel pressure checked as soon 
as possible.
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Anti-theft bolts
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these 
nearest the valve (wheel trim may 
not be able to fit).
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.

Fitting new tyres
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 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.Tyre pressuresRespect 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, 
described in the information on “Tyre 
pressures” in Section 4).
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.

Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the 
“Emergency spare wheel” and in-
structions on “Changing a wheel” in 
Section 5.
Use in winter
– ChainsFor safety reasons, fitting snow 
chains to the rear axle is strictly 
forbidden.
Chains must not be fitted  to tyres 
which are larger than those originally 
fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted 
to tyres of the same size 
as those originally fitted to 
your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to 
tyres. Consult an approved Dealer.
–  Snow or winter tyres We would recommend that these be 
fitted to all four wheels to ensure 
that your vehicle retains maximum 
grip.
Note: be aware that these tyres may 
sometimes have:
–  a direction of travel ;
–  a maximum speed index which 
may be lower than the maximum 
speed of your vehicle.
– Studded tyres This type of equipment may only be 
used for a limited period and as laid 
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed 
specified by 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.
