seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Seat belts which are incor-
rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully de-
press the clutch pedal. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For maximum safety, your head
must be as close as possible to the
headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view.
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

Repositioning the tools
Put them into their slots. Check every-

injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied with the
emergency spare wheel, it is im-
perative that they are used and that
they are used for the emergency
spare wheel only: 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 un-
derside of the vehicle.

and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 2. Position it so as to be
able to push from above.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.

CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Crank up jack 3 by hand to posi-
tion the jack head against the jacking
point closest to the relevant wheel and
marked by an arrow 1.
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehi-
cle, raise the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
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.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

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.
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.
