In the event of a breakdown

a dealer or a qualified workshop for

assistance.

The spare wheel is stored under the boot carpet.

The spare wheel is a ‘space-saver’ wheel.

Checking / adjusting tyre

pressures

►ꢀ Once the correct pressure is reached, put the

switch in position "O".

►ꢀ Remove the kit and stow it.

The compressor can be used, without injecting

sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the

tyre pressures.

Removing the spare wheel

►ꢀ Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it

in a clean place.

►ꢀ Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.

►ꢀ Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten

firmly.

Should the pressure of one or more tyres

be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise

the under-inflation detection system.

For more information on Tyre under-inflation

detection, refer to the corresponding section.

►ꢀ Check that the compressor switch is in

position "O".

►ꢀ Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under

the compressor.

►ꢀ Connect the compressor's electric plug to the

vehicle's 12 V socket.

Spare wheel

►ꢀ Slacken the central nut.

explanatory videos.

►ꢀ Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).

►ꢀ Lift the spare wheel towards you from the rear.

►ꢀ Take the wheel out of the boot.

►ꢀ Switch on the ignition.

The tyre inflation pressures are given on

this label.

For more information on the Tool kit, refer

to the corresponding section.

Putting the spare wheel back in place

The punctured wheel cannot be placed in

the boot under the floor.

Access to the spare wheel

►ꢀ Start the compressor by placing the switch

at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the

value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label.

To deflate: press the black button located on the

compressor pipe, near the valve connection.

If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is

not reached, the tyre is damaged; contact

In the event of a breakdown

Check for the fixed illumination of the parking

brake indicator lamps in the instrument panel.

The occupants must get out of the vehicle and

wait where they are safe.

►ꢀ To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of the

bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).

►ꢀ Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to

slacken the security bolt.

If necessary, place a chock under the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.

Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a

jack; use an axle stand.

►ꢀ Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

►ꢀ Put the spare wheel back in place in its

housing.

►ꢀ Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.

►ꢀ Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in

the middle of the wheel.

Wheel with wheel trim

When removing the wheel, first remove

the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture

using the wheelbrace.

When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel trim,

starting by placing its aperture in line with the

valve and then pushing it into place all round

its edge with the palm of your hand.

►ꢀ Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain

the wheel correctly.

►ꢀ Depending on version, put the tool box back

in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in

place.

►ꢀ Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and

ensure that it is directly below the front A or

rear B jacking point on the underbody, whichever

is closest to the wheel to be changed.

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does not

obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,

stable and non-slippery.

With a manual gearbox, engage first gear

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,

unless it is programmed to be in automatic

mode, and switch off the ignition.

With an automatic gearbox, select mode P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,

unless it is programmed to be in automatic

mode, and switch off the ignition.

In the event of a breakdown

►ꢀ Extend jack 6 until its head comes into contact

with jacking point A or B; contact area A or B on

the vehicle must be properly inserted into the

central part of the head of the jack.

Fitting a wheel

►ꢀ Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space

between the wheel and the ground to admit the

spare (not punctured) wheel easily.

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the

ground is slippery or loose, the jack may

slip or collapse - risk of injury!

Take care to position the jack strictly at

one of the jacking points A or B under the

vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is

centred under the contact area of the vehicle.

Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the

vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of

injury!

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type spare

wheel

If the vehicle is equipped with alloy wheels, the

washers do not make contact with the steel or

"space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel is

secured by the conical contact of each bolt.

►ꢀ Lower the vehicle again fully.

►ꢀ Fold jack 6 and remove it.

►ꢀ Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

►ꢀ Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 5

only.

►ꢀ Fit the wheel on the hub.

►ꢀ Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts

(depending on equipment).

►ꢀ Store the tools.

►ꢀ Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.

►ꢀ Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

►ꢀ Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

►ꢀ Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

►ꢀ Remove the wheel.
