Temporary puncture repair
kit
Scan the QR Code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.
Made up of a compressor and a sealant cartridge,
it allows the temporary repair of a tyre so that you
can drive to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair.
For more information on the Tool kit, refer
to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign bodies (e.g.
nail, screw) which have penetrated into
the tyre.
►  Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►  Follow the safety instructions (hazard warning
lamps, warning triangle, high visibility vest, etc.)
according to the legislation in force in the country
of driving.
►  Switch off the ignition.
►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.


► Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
bottle of sealant.


►  Turn the bottle of sealant over and secure it in
the notch provided on the compressor.
►  Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean area.

152In the event of a breakdown08
Checking / adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
► Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it
in a clean place.
►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►  Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly.
►  Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
►  Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
►  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Switch on the ignition.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.


► Start the compressor by placing the switch
at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the
value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label.
To deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged; contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
►  Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position "O".
►  Remove the kit and stow it.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.

to the corresponding section.
Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is stored under the boot carpet.
The spare wheel is a ‘space-saver’ wheel.
Removing the spare wheel

►  Slacken the central nut.
►  Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).
►  Lift the spare wheel towards you from the rear.
►  Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the spare wheel back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be placed in
the boot under the floor.


► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
►  Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
►  Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
►  Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
►  Depending on version, put the tool box back
in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in
place.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed to be in automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode P
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed to be in automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition.

Check for the fixed illumination of the parking
brake indicator lamps in the instrument panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle and
wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel trim,
starting by placing its aperture in line with the
valve and then pushing it into place all round
its edge with the palm of your hand.




►  To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of the
bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
►  Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to
slacken the security bolt.
►  Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.


►  Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.

165In the event of a breakdown08
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
–
Electronic k
ey.
–

Electric windo
ws.
–

Da
te and time.
–

Pre
set radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the
“Collision risk detection system fault”
message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe 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 towing
arm; rope 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.
A professional towing service must be
called if:
–

B

roken down on a motorway or main road.
–

No
t possible to put the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake.
–

No

automatic gearbox, with the engine running.
–

T

owing with only two wheels on the ground.
–

Four-wheel driv
e vehicle.
–
