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.

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
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.
Note : ensure that the emergency
spare wheel or punctured wheel and
the wheel tray are correctly posi-
tioned so that the luggage compart-
ment carpet can be properly fitted.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the bolts firmly, beginning on side
5 ,
then

7, 9, 6, and finishing with 8. Check
the tightness (tightening torque 105
Nm), and the pressure of the emer-
gency spare wheel’s tyre as soon as
possible.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

Tyres
TYRES (1/3)
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips
1
which are indicators moulded into
the tread at several points. When the tyre tread has been worn
to the level of the warning strips, they
become visible
2: it is then neces-
sary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep
at most, resulting in poor road hold-
ing on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. If such
incidents occur, have the condition
of these parts checked by an ap-
proved dealer.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“ E m e r g e n c y s p a r e w h e e l ” a n d
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–

poor road holding;
–


r

isk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
–

it

may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–

It

may change the way it handles
when cornering;
–

I

t may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–

i

t may affect the use of snow
chains.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Fitting new tyresPressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large
wheels. These are more sensitive
to imbalance. If you experience vi-
bration while driving, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

Use in winter
Chains
2-wheel drive version (2WD)
Snow chains must be fitted to the
front wheels.
4-wheel drive version (4WD)
Snow chains may be fitted to only the
front wheels, or to all four wheels.
TYRES (3/3)
It is forbidden to fit snow
chains to only the rear
wheels.
Snow chains may only be
fitted to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to
tyres.
Consult an approved dealer.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes
have a specific direction of rotation
and a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact your approved
dealer who will be able to advise you
on the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Changing wheels around
We recommend that you swap the
wheels regularly in order to ensure that
the tyres wear evenly.
Swap the wheels as shown in the above
diagram. Refer to your vehicle’s main-
tenance document for the intervals.
