Temporary puncture
repair kit
This kit comprises a compressor and a sealant
cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures
which could affect the tyre, located on the
tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and
adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the system
is reinitialised by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair. Only
the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the compressor to be
connected for long enough to repair or
inflate the vehicle tyre.
The other 12 V sockets of the vehicle
are not designed to be used with the
compressor.
Access to the kit Composition of the kit
1.
12 V compressor, with built-in pressure
gauge.
2. Bottle of sealant, with built-in hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.

as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel
, first remove
the hub cap using the wheelbrace 1 by
pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , refit the 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.

Depending on version, the spare wheel may be
a standard size steel or alloy wheel; for some
countries of sale, it is the "space saver" type.
For access to the spare wheel, first refer to
"Access to the tools" in this section. If your vehicle has an electric parking
brake, only a "space saver" type of wheel
can be stowed in the boot.

Tyre under-inflation detection
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
The punctured tyre must be repaired
or replaced by a member of the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has been
programmed to automatic mode, switch
off the ignition and engage first gear
(position P for the automatic gearbox) to
lock the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel come on.
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.List of operations
F Remove the bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to
equipment).
F

F
it the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace
1 to slacken the security bolt.
F

S

In the event of a breakdown

196
F Place the foot of the 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. F

Ra
ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.
F
R
emove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
F

R
emove the wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or drop – Risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack only 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. Other wise, there is a risk
of damage to the vehicle and/or the jack
dropping – Risk of injury!
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. The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 .
F

P
re-tighten the other bolts using wheelbrace
1 o n l y.

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.
After changing a wheel
Put the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel.With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
It is recommended that you do not exceed
the maximum authorised speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
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
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.

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. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of lamp,
contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
A LED (light-emitting diode) replacement
kit is available from the dealer network.
For bulbs with lugs, type H1, H7... take
care to position them correctly to ensure
the best lighting.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S) must be replaced
in the dealer network or by a qualified
workshop.
Front lamps
With xenon and full LED directional
lamps
