when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
A
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
In the event of underinflation (punc-
tures, underinflation etc.), the

warning light on the instrument panel
comes on. Please refer to the informa-
tion on the “Tyre pressure loss warning”
in Section 2.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/6)
To connect the compressor, open the
bonnet and connect black clamp 10
to earth 6 (refer to the information on
“Battery: troubleshooting” in Section 5).
Then connect red clamp 11 to termi-
nal 5.
Before starting the engine,
check that the handbrake is
applied and the gear lever
is in neutral or in position N
for sequential gearboxes.
With the engine running, press switch 7
to start inflating.
After a maximum of 15 minutes, stop in-
flating and read the pressure on pres-
sure gauge 9.
A pressure of at least 4.7 bar must be
reached.
Note: while the bottle is emptying (ap-
proximately 30 seconds), the pressure
gauge 9 will indicate briefly a pressure
of up to 6 bars, then the pressure drops.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/6)
Affix the driving recommendation label
to the dashboard where it can easily be
seen by the driver;
Store the kit underneath the driver’s
seat.
Start the vehicle immediately in order
to the distribute the product in the tyre
and, after 6 miles (10 km) or 10 min-
utes driving, stop to check the pres-
sure. To do this, fit adapter 3 onto the
tyre valve. If the pressure is less than
the recommended pressure, adjust it
(refer to the information on “Tyre pres-
sures”), otherwise contact an approved
dealer: repair is not possible.Precautions when using the
kit
– the kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes;
– when driving, vibration may be felt due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten t\
hem
fully.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 3 to prevent any prod-
uct spatter and screw the tyre inflation
hose 4 to the bottle opening 2 to pre-
vent the product from escaping.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (5/6)
Inflation kit E
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the inflation kit lo-
cated 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 apply-
ing to the country you are in.
With the engine running and the
parking 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 rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’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”);

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 16).
Note: while the bottle is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds),
the pressure gauge 16 will indicate
briefly a pressure of up to 6 bars,
then the pressure drops.
– 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 ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (6/6)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 12 to prevent any prod-
uct spatter and store the container in
plastic packaging to prevent product
leaks. – Affix the driving recommendation
label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at be- tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.

CHANGING A WHEEL: jack (2/2)
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be inspec-
ted (and repaired, where possible)
by a specialist.
With the wheel on the ground, tigh-
ten the bolts firmly, starting on side C,
then E, G, D and ending with F. Check
the tightness and the tyre pressure on
the emergency spare wheel as soon as
possible.
C
E
G
D
F
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel. Tighten
the bolts, checking that the wheel is
correctly positioned on its hub and uns-
crew the jack.
Note: do not lubricate the wheel bolts.
Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (otherwise it may
not be possible to fit the wheel trim).
Position jack 4 horizontally. Jack head 3
must be positioned level with the rein-
forcement panel closest to the wheel in
question or the contact points 5;
start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace a few times using
the wheel spanner 2 until the wheel is
lifted off the ground. Remove the bolts
and take off the wheel;
fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.

TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to 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).
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
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
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.
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.
Dual wheel versions
To inflate the outer wheel, it is recom-
mended that the inflation tube is passed
between the two wheels. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If underinflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
 on
the instrument panel comes on, see
“Tyre pressure loss warning system” in
Section 2.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
