y ou should
–
Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
– Always follow the recommenda -
tions supplied with the high-pressure
cleaning equipment (jet distance and
pressure).
– Before going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer
to the information on “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1), check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and door mirrors
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe -
sive tape. Remove the radio aerial
mast if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –
After driving off-road (eg. on muddy,
dusty or sandy terrain) quickly clean
the radiator from the outside of the
vehicle through the openings in the
bumper, to prevent it from becoming
blocked or clogged (risk of engine
overheating).
– Wash your vehicle frequently with
the engine off , using shampoo ap -
proved by our Technical Department
(never use abrasive products) and
rinse thoroughly using a warm or
cold water jet (never hot):
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– the layer of dust or mud and any
insects;
– bird droppings , which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off ;
Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol -
ishing; –
salt deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
are chemically treated;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
– Clean mud and sand from the
wheels, in particular the inside of the
wheels and the brakes, as this can:
– reduce the braking efficiency and
damage the components of the
braking system;
– cause vibrations in the bodywork
and steering column.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.

– After cleaning your vehicle, check
the brakes while driving at low speed
to ensure that the braking efficiency
has not been reduced by the water.
If it has, depress the brake pedal
gently while driving to dry the brakes.
– Check the drain holes at the bottom
of the doors to make sure they are
not blocked.
– Inspect the wheels regularly to check
for any traces of impacts or corro -
sion. These can damage the tyre or
cause it to lose pressure.
– Keep well away from the vehicle in
front when driving on gravelled sur -
faces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading. –
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anticorrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by the Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.

Tyre inflation kit
TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/3)
The kit repairs tyres with
tread A damaged by ob -
jects smaller than 4 mm. It
cannot repair all types of
puncture, such as cuts of more than
4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall B etc.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and re-
paired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
When replacing a tyre repaired with
this kit, you must consult a special-
ist. When driving, vibration may be
felt due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.The kit is only approved for
inflating the tyres of the ve-
hicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han -
dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-
lets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil -
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re -
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located on the
left side of the luggage compartment on
4x2 versions or in the in the emergency
spare wheel tray under the luggage
compartment carpet on 4x4 versions. –
press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge 4);
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres -
sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a
pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure
will drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer .
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (it is
essential not to remove the cap from
the bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its
base 3.
With the engine running and the
handbrake applied,
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
adapter 6 onto valve;
– connect adapter 8 to accessories
socket 9 on the dashboard of the ve-
hicle;

Changing a wheel
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Park the vehicle away from
traffic on firm, flat, non-slip -
pery ground (if necessary, place a
solid support under the jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse gear).
Ask the passengers to leave the ve-
hicle and to keep away from traffic.
If you have a puncture, re -
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim,
refer to the information on “Wheel trims
- Wheels” in this Section. Undo the
wheel bolts using wheelbrace 4 . Fit it
so that you press downwards rather
than pulling upwards. Mark hole
1 , which is the nearest to
the wheel in question. The jack must
be fitted in this location. Offer up jack 3
horizontally and position jack head 2
under the sill.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.
Remove the bolts.
Take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on
the central hub and turn it to align the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
