floor.
There are two ways to manoeuvre the
seats:
– from the boot using control 7;
– on the multifunction screen 8. Disabling the function
– With the engine running, a buckled
seat belt prevents the movement of
the relevant seat.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
In the event of a puncture, use the kit si-
tuated under the second row rear pas-
senger footwell flap 1.
Before using the kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the parking brake, ask
all passengers to leave the vehicle
and keep them away from traffic.

– end piece 3 must be connected to a
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information on “Tyre in-
flation pressure” in Section 4);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 6).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 6 will indicate briefly
a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-
sure drops.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 7.
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 ap-
plying to the country you are in.

With the engine running and the par-
king brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 4 to
the container’s inlet 9;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 9 to the compressor
from the container recess 8;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rele- vant wheel and screw on the contai-
ner’s inflation adapter 2;
– disconnect any accessories pre- viously connected to the vehicle’s
accessories sockets;

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).The pressures should be checked cold:
ignore higher pressures which may be
reached in hot weather or following a
high speed journey.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
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. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system
In cases of under-inflation (puncture,
low pressure, etc.), warning light

lights up on the instrument panel.
Please refer to the information on the
“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in
Section 2.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on “Puncture”
and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
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,
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
