Tyre in the carrier
If you want to change the size of the tyre on the
spare wheel, follow the instructions below.A punctured tyre of size 215 or 225 can be
placed in the carrier.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position
P then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position
A then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that
the warning lamp is on in the instrument
panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack
; use an axle stand.

ngage the carrier on the hook, then tighten
the bolt using the wheelbrace until the bolt
is fully tightened.

ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily. Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is absolutely stable.
If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack
may slip or drop.
Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly
at one of the jacking points
A or B under
the vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's

Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced. Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical contact of each bolt.
Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake. If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection
, refer to the corresponding
section.
Tyre under-inflation detection
The steel spare wheel does not have a
sensor.
Wheel with hub cap
When refitting the wheel , refit the hub
cap starting by placing its notch facing the
valve and press around its edge with the
palm of your hand.
