PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL  
– lift the luggage compartment carpet  
vertically against the rear seatback  
or the folded boot cover, if your vehi-  
cle has one;  
– unscrew the central mounting 1;  
– remove emergency spare wheel 2.  
NB: 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.  
After lowering, check that the boot  
carpet is correctly positioned in its  
bump stops to prevent it from being  
damaged (if present on your vehi-  
cle).

1
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it  
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.  
In the event of a puncture,  
depending on the vehicle,  
you will have:  
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-  
flation kit (refer to the information on the  
following pages).  
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the  
other wheels:  
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.  
– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehicle’s  
ground clearance is reduced.  
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi-  
cal to the original one.  
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the  
driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.  
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.  
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-  
nering.  
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle  
and check the tyre pressure.  
Emergency spare wheel  
This is located in the luggage compart-  
ment.  
To access it:  
– Open the boot;  
– depending on the vehicle, remove  
the boot cover or fold it fully;

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)  
B
Do not attempt to use the  
inflation kit if the tyre has  
been damaged as a result  
of driving with a puncture.  
The kit is only approved for  
inflating the tyres of the ve-  
hicle originally equipped  
with the kit.  
You should therefore carefully check  
the condition of the tyre sidewalls  
before any operation.  
It must never be used to inflate  
the tyres of another vehicle, or any  
other inflatable object (rubber ring,  
rubber boat, etc.).  
A
Driving with underinflated, flat or  
punctured tyres can be dangerous  
and may make the tyre impossible  
to repair.  
Avoid spillage on skin when han-  
dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-  
lets do leak out, rinse them off with  
plenty of water.  
This repair is temporary  
Keep the repair kit away from chil-  
dren.  
A tyre which has been punctured  
should always be inspected (and re-  
paired, where possible) as soon as  
possible by a specialist.  
Do not dispose of the empty bottle  
in the countryside. Return it to your  
approved dealer or to a recycling or-  
ganisation.  
The kit repairs tyres when  
tread A has been dam-  
aged by objects smaller  
than 4 mm. It cannot repair  
all types of puncture, such as cuts  
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre  
sidewall B.  
When taking a tyre which has been  
repaired using this kit to be replaced,  
you must inform the specialist.  
The bottle has a limited service  
life which is indicated on its label.  
Check the expiry date.  
When driving, vibration may be felt  
due to the presence of the repair  
product injected into the tyre.  
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in  
good condition.  
Contact an approved dealer to re-  
place the inflation tube and repair  
product bottle.  
Do not pull out the foreign body  
causing the puncture if it is still in  
the tyre.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)  
1
– Affix the driving recommendation  
label to the dashboard where it can  
easily be seen by the driver;  
Precautions when using the  
kit  
The kit should not be operated for more  
than 15 consecutive minutes.  
– 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.  
Please be aware that a  
poorly tightened or miss-  
ing valve cap can make the  
tyres less airtight and may  
lead to pressure loss.  
– 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.  
Always use valve caps identical to  
those fitted originally and tighten  
them fully.  
– 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

TYRES (1/3)  
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.  
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.  
1
You must make sure that your tyres  
conform to local road traffic regulations.  
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.  
2
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 they need to be re-  
placed, only tyres of the  
same make, size, type and  
profile should be used.  
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.  
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should  
either be identical to those fitted  
originally or conform to those  
recommended by your approved  
Dealer.  
In this case, have the condition of  
these checked by an approved  
dealer.

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.  
Tyre pressures  
Changing wheels around  
This practice is not recommended.  
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).  
Emergency spare wheel  
Refer to the information on “Puncture”  
and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.  
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.  
Fitting new tyres  
Incorrect tyre pressures  
lead to abnormal tyre wear  
and unusually hot running.  
These are factors which  
may seriously affect safety and lead  
to:  
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;  
– poor road holding,  
– risk of bursting or tread separa-  
tion.  
– It may change the way it handles  
when cornering;  
Please be aware that a  
poorly tightened or miss-  
ing valve cap can make the  
tyres less airtight and lead  
to pressure loss.  
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).  
– It may cause the steering to be  
heavy;  
– it may affect the use of snow  
chains.  
Always use valve caps identical to  
those fitted originally and tighten  
them fully.

Chains  
Snow or Winter tyres  
We would recommend that these be  
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that  
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-  
sion.  
For safety reasons, fitting snow  
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-  
bidden.  
Chains must not be fitted to tyres  
which are larger than those originally  
fitted to the vehicle.  
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.  
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. Please contact an authorised  
dealer.  
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 ve-  
hicle.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)  
To avoid all risk of sparks:  
Connecting a battery charger  
– Ensure that any consumers (cour-  
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off  
before disconnecting or reconnect-  
ing the battery;  
The battery charger must be com-  
patible with a battery with nominal  
voltage of 12 volts.  
Do not disconnect the battery when the  
engine is running. Follow the instruc-  
tions given by the manufacturer of  
the battery charger you are using.  
– when charging, stop the charger  
before connecting or disconnecting  
the battery;  
– to avoid creating a short circuit be-  
tween the terminals, do not place  
metal objects on the battery;  
– always wait at least one minute after  
the engine has been switched off  
before disconnecting a battery;  
Handle the battery with care  
as it contains sulphuric acid,  
which must not come into  
contact with eyes or skin. If  
it does, wash the affected area with  
plenty of cold water and consult a  
doctor, if necessary.  
– make sure that you reconnect the  
battery terminals after refitting.  
Ensure that naked flames, red hot  
objects and sparks do not come into  
contact with the battery as there is a  
risk of explosion.  
Some batteries may have  
specific conditions for re-  
charging. Consult your ap-  
proved dealer. Avoid the  
risk of sparks, as this could cause  
a sudden explosion, and always  
charge the battery in a well-venti-  
lated area.  
The engine may be hot when car-  
rying out operations in close prox-  
imity. In addition, the engine cooling  
fan can come on at any moment.

The two batteries must have an iden-

Ensure that there is no risk of contact  
between the two vehicles (risk of short  
circuiting when the positive terminals  
are connected) and that the discharged  
battery is properly connected. Switch  
off your vehicle ignition.  
Connect the positive cable (+) A to the  
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery,  
then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery  
supplying the current.  
Connect the negative cable (–) B to the  
(–) 3 terminal of the battery supplying  
the current and then to the (–) 4 termi-  
nal of the discharged battery.  
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-  
ing the current and run it at an interme-  
diate engine speed.  
Check that there is no con-  
tact between leads A and B  
and that the positive lead A  
is not touching any metal  
parts on the vehicle supplying the  
current.  
Start the engine as normal. As soon as  
it starts, disconnect cables A and B in  
reverse order (4-3-2-1).

TOWING: breakdown (1/2)  
The steering wheel must be un-  
locked and the ignition key must be  
in position M (ignition on) to provide  
brake lights and hazard warning  
lights on the towed vehicle. At night  
the vehicle must have its lights on.  
– Use a rigid towing bar.  
If a rope or cable is used  
(where the law allows this),  
the vehicle being towed  
must be able to brake.  
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is  
not fit to be driven.  
– Avoid accelerating or braking  
suddenly when towing, as this  
may result in damage being  
caused to the vehicle.  
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-  
visable not to exceed 15 mph  
(25 km/h).  
Furthermore, it is essential to respect  
the towing regulations set out in the leg-  
islation of the country concerned and, if  
your vehicle is the towing vehicle, not to  
exceed the towing weight of your vehi-  
cle. Contact an approved Dealer.  
Do not remove the key from  
the ignition when the vehi-  
cle is being towed.  
When the engine is  
stopped, steering and brak-  
ing assistance are not op-  
erational.

ACCESSORIES  
Electrical and electronic accessories  
Before installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, po-  
sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.  
Connect accessories with a maximum power of 120 watts only. Fire hazard.  
No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorrectly connected  
system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to it.  
If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.  
Establish the rating and position of this fuse.  
Use of transmission/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).  
Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interference to the electronic systems originally fitted to the  
vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform  
to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.  
Fitting after-market accessories  
If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an authorised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of  
your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for your  
vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty.  
If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal.  
Obstructions to the driver  
On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regu-  
larly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.
