Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road, in an automatic car wash, or being transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).The procedure varies according to the type of gearbox and parking brake.
WARNI NG
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.

Advice on care and
maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
WARNI NG
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in the engine compartment - risk of damaging the electrical components!Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or extremely cold conditions.
NOTIC E
When washing the vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock the doors and, depending on version, move the electronic key away and deactivate the “hands-free” function (Hands-Free Access).When using a pressure washer, hold the lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).Promptly clean up any stains containing chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint (including tree resin, bird droppings, insect
secretions, pollen and tar).

WARNI NG
The vehicle's electrical system allows the connection of the compressor for long enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair.
Only use the two 12 V sockets, located at the front, to connect your compressor.
Repair and sealing
procedure
► Park the vehicle without obstructing any traffic and apply the parking brake.► Follow the safety instructions (hazard warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing high
visibility vest, etc.) according to the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.► Switch off the ignition.► Turn the selector A to the "Repair" position.► Check that switch B is in position "O".
WARNI NG
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated the tyre.
► Uncoil the white pipe G fully.► Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.► Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.► Connect the compressor's electrical plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.► Affix the speed limit sticker.

Removing a wheel
WARNI NG
Parking the vehicleImmobilise the vehicle where it does not obstruct 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 a drive selector, place the gear selector in position P then switch off the ignition to block the wheels.Apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed to automatic mode (for an electric parking brake), and check that the indicator lamp lights up on the instrument panel.Ensure that the occupants have left the vehicle and are located in a safe place.Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.With an electric parking brake, place a chock against the wheel diagonally opposite to the one being replaced.
► With a steel wheel, remove the bolt cover using tool 3 or the wheel trim by hand.► With an alloy wheel, remove the cover from each of the bolts using tool 3.► If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt socket 4 to wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt.► Slacken (without removing) the other wheel bolts using just wheelbrace 1.
► Place the foot of the jack on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the A or B jacking point provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.

Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable mechanical device.
NOTIC E
General recommendationsObserve the legislation in force in the country
where you are driving.Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence.When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.The towing vehicle must move off gently.When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.
WARNI NG
A professional recovery service must be called if:– broken down on a motorway or main road;– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake;– not possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running;– towing with only two wheels on the ground;– four-wheel drive vehicle;– no approved towbar available.
WARNI NG
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential to put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.For more information on Free-wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.
NOTIC E
Electric motorAn electric vehicle cannot under any circumstances be used to tow another vehicle.However, it may be used, for example, to exit a rut.
WARNI NG
With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in neutral.With an automatic gearbox, place the gear selector in position N.Failure to adhere to this instruction may lead to damage to some braking components and the lack of braking assistance on restarting the engine.
