TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/4)
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.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation end piece to prevent any product
spatter and store the container in plas-
tic packaging to prevent product leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– put the kit away;
– at the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre; you must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole;
– start immediately and drive at be- tween 12.4 and 37.2 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 1.86 miles (3 km), stop
and check the pressure;
– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure, re-adjust it (refer to the
label affixed to the edge of the driv-
er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-
proved dealer: repair is not possible. Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

5.8
Depending on the vehicle, remove the
tool kit or any tools.
To remove the tool kit 1 from the
luggage compartment
If stored behind a flap, open it. Undo
the wheel 2 and pull the tool kit towards
you.

Repositioning the tools
Put them into their slots. Check every-
thing is correctly positioned.
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then posi-
tion it correctly in its housing: risk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied with the
emergency spare wheel, it is im-
perative that they are used and that
they are used for the emergency
spare wheel only: refer to the label
affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 2. Position it so as to be
able to push from above.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Crank up jack 3 by hand to posi-
tion the jack head against the jacking
point closest to the relevant wheel and
marked by an arrow 1.
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehi-
cle, raise 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.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

5.12
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
For vehicles fitted with alloy wheels,
use the guide bolt located in the tool kit
to finish loosening and start tightening
the bolts.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on
the central hub and turn it to align the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub.
Lower the jack.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness of
the bolts checked and the emergency
spare wheel pressure checked as soon
as possible.
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Anti-theft bolts
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (wheel trim may
not be able to fit).
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.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.

5.13
TYRES (1/3)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 tread wear indica-
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
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 the tyre tread has been eroded
to the level of the warning strips, they
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
profile is no more than 1.6
mm deep
and this causes poor road holding
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. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.

5.14
TYRES (2/3)
Pressures 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, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.Tyre pressuresRespect 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,
described in the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4).
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
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures”).
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.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in-
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.

5.15
– Studded tyresThis 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.
TYRES (3/3)
Use in winter
– Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
Chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
– Snow or winter tyres We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains maximum
grip.
Note: be aware that these tyres may
sometimes have:
– a direction of travel ;
– a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
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.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Fitting new tyres
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at
least equal to the original tyres,
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
