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.

154In the event of a breakdown08
► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into contact
with jacking point A or B; contact area A or B on
the vehicle must be properly inserted into the
central part of the head of the jack.
►  Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space
between the wheel and the ground to admit the
spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area of the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!


►  Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
►  Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type spare
wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy wheels, the
washers do not make contact with the steel or
"space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel is
secured by the conical contact of each bolt.


►  Fit the wheel on the hub.
►  Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
►  Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.
►  Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.


►  Lower the vehicle again fully.
►  Fold jack 6 and remove it.


► Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.
►  Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 5
only.
►  Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).
►  Store the tools.
After changing a wheel

With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Driving with more than one “space-saver” type
spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a dealer 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 tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it

Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasiv
e
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products.
–

U

se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–

When using a high-pre
ssure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, 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 /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do 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
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in
reverse order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to
guarantee the sealing of the lamps.
