If a pressure of 2 bars is not reached after
7 minutes, this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact your dealer or
a
qualified workshop for recovery.

Do not drive more than 120
miles (200 km)
with a
temporarily repaired tyre; see your
dealer or a
qualified workshop to change
the tyre.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

Procedure for changing a


damaged wheel with
the spare wheel using the tools provided with
the vehicle.
Access to the tools
List of tools
1. Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and the wheel
fastening bolts.
2. Jack with integrated handle.
Used to raise the vehicle.
3. "Bolt cover" tool.
For removing the bolt protectors (covers)
on alloy wheels.
4. Socket for the security bolts (located in
the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the special
"security" bolts (if your vehicle is equipped
with them).
All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and can vary according to the level
of equipment.
Do not use them for any other purposes.
The jack should only be used to change
a
wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original jack,
contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop to obtain the correct jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.
The tools are installed in the boot under the

Taking out the wheelPutting the wheel back in place
The spare wheel is located in the boot under

Depending on the country of sale, you will
have a "space-saver" type spare wheel or
a


temporary puncture repair kit.

Removing a wheel
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!
*
position R for the electronic gearbox, P for
the automatic gearbox Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* so as to
block the wheels.
If necessary, place a
chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
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 using wheelbrace 1
by
pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , after tightening
the wheel bolts, 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.
List of operations

On vehicles equipped with body sill
mouldings, the location of the jack
contact area is indicated by a mark on the
moulding. It is essential that the jack be
placed in line with this mark, in the jack
contact area, located behind the moulding
and not on the plastic moulding.
F

E
xtend the jack 2 until its head comes into
contact with the jacking point A or B used;
the contact area A or B on the vehicle must
be correctly inserted into the central part of
the head of the jack.
F

Ra
ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
then allow the spare (not punctured) wheel
to fit easily. Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the standard spare wheel
housing.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
hub cap from the middle of the wheel so
that the fastening device (nut and bolt) can
be put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a
cover to protect the
inside of the boot.
Refitting the wheel
F Place the foot of jack 2 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front
A or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.

Fitting the "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 "space-saver"
spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a


wheel
Do not exceed 50
mph (80 km/h) when
driving with the "space-saver" type spare
wheel fitted.
Visit the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured wheel checked. After
inspection, the technician will let you know
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.List of operations

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a
protective coating:
F

d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a


bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a
lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a
failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification.
