TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
– 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 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired. 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.

Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
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.

ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the handbrake and engage
position P.
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Continue tightening to position the
baseplate on the ground correctly. Turn
handle 3 on the jack 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.

5.9
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 and lower the jack.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and unscrew the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the bolts as fully as possible and check
the tightness as soon as possible (tight-
ening torque 110 Nm).
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.

5.10
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.
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.
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.

5.11
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.Fitting new tyres
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.
Tyre pressuresRespect the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). Check
them at least once a month and before
a long journey (refer to the label on the
edge of the driver’s door).
Please refer to 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.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be heavy;
– It may affect the use of snow chains.

5.12
TYRES (3/3)
Use in winter
– ChainsFor 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.
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
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.
– 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 an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
NB:
The use of snow tyres, winter tyres or
studded tyres significantly reduces the
vehicle range.
