Tool kit
Tool kit 3 is located in the emergency
spare wheel. It consists of a set of tools
for various operations on the vehicle: a
jack and wheelbrace, towing hitch, etc.,
and a space for a spare bulb box.
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle.
Storage compartments 1
This is for storing a box of bulbs.
Storage compartments 2
This is for storing four wheel bolts.
Wheelbrace 4
This is used to tighten or release the
wheel bolts.
t owing hitch 7
Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.
Hubcap tool 5 or 6
This tool is used to remove the wheel
trims.
Jack 3
Remove jack 3.
When replacing the jack, fold it cor -
rectly and position the wheelbrace cor-
rectly before replacing it in its position.
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 position
it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. It should
never be used for repairs or gaining
access to the underneath of the ve-
hicle.

Changing a wheel
Start extending jack 2 by hand, turning
the handle. Position the head correctly
under vertical sill seam 3 nearest to the
wheel concerned and marked by an
oblong hole.
Continue turning the handle to position
the baseplate of the jack on the ground
correctly.
Turn a few times to lift the wheel off the
ground, remove the bolts and take off
the wheel.
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 1 . Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling up -
wards.
cHAngIng A WHeeL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur -
face where it will not slip (if neces -
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
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 not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

Anti-theft bolts
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (otherwise it may
not be possible to fit the wheel trim).
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 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.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
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 un-
screw the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness
of the bolts checked (tightening torque:
105 Nm) and the emergency spare
wheel pressure checked as soon as
possible.
