pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, insert
a tool (with a hard rod) into the slot 4 to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
Maintenance period
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle or consult an Approved
Dealer to check whether the automatic
gearbox requires scheduled mainte-
nance.
If it does not need to be serviced, there
is no need to top up the oil.
Operating faults
– when driving , if the message
“Check auto gearbox” appears on
the instrument panel, it indicates a
failure.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, stop as soon
as possible to let the gearbox cool
down and wait for the message to
disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.

For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
In the event of a puncture, use the kit
located in the boot, underneath the
boot carpet.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– Unscrew the cap from recess 3 on
the bottle;
– unscrew the bottle cap 2;
– screw the bottle 2 onto the compres- sor at the bottle recess point 3;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rele- vant wheel and screw the inflation
adapter 6 onto the valve;
– disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories sockets;
– the plug 4 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);
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 10 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 1).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflating with the kit.
If the recommended pressure of
1.8 bar cannot be achieved after
10 minutes, repair is impossible. Do
not drive the vehicle. Consult an au-
thorised dealer.

traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace 1 to slacken off the
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able
to push from above.
Crank up the jack 3 by hand to align
the jack head between the 2 jacking
points 2 closest to the relevant wheel.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
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

TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Only use the front 5 and rear 8 towing
points
(never use the drive shafts or any other
part of the vehicle).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Unclip cover 4 or 7 by inserting a flat-
blade screwdriver or similar under the
cover.
Tighten the tow eye 6 fully: as much
as possible by hand at first, then finish
tightening it using the wheelbrace or,
depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Only use the towing eye 6 and the
wheelbrace 3 included in the tool kit
(please refer to the information under
“Tools” in Section 5).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle 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 suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– In any case, it is advisable not to exceed 16 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
