In the event of a breakdown

After use, do not discard the bottle into

the environment; take it to a dealer or an

authorised waste disposal site.

Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of

sealant, available from a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Should the pressure of one or more tyres

be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise

the under-inflation detection system.

Checking/adjusting tyre

pressures

The compressor can be used, without injecting

sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the

tyre pressures.

For more information on Tyre under-inflation

detection, refer to the corresponding section.

►ꢀ 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.

to the corresponding section.

►ꢀ Connect the compressor's electric plug to the

vehicle's 12 V socket.

►ꢀ Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles

(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between 12 and

37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the puncture.

►ꢀ Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure

using the kit.

Accessing the spare wheel

►ꢀ Switch the ignition on.

►ꢀ 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.

With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,

do not exceed a speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h) and do not drive more than 50 miles

(80 km).

If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is

not reached, the tyre is damaged; contact

a dealer or a qualified workshop for

assistance.

You must contact a dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the repair checked and the

tyre changed.

►ꢀ Once the correct pressure is reached, put the

switch in position "O".

The spare wheel is stored in the boot, under the

floor.

►ꢀ Remove the kit and stow it.

►ꢀ Refit the cap on the valve.

To access the spare wheel, first refer to the Tool

kit section.

wheel.

In some countries, it is a ‘space saver’ wheel.

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.

Removing the spare wheel

Wheel with wheel trim

When removing the wheel, first remove

the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture

using the wheelbrace.

►ꢀ Put the spare wheel back in place in its

housing.

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.

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

►ꢀ Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in

the middle of the wheel.

►ꢀ Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain

the wheel correctly.

►ꢀ Slacken the central nut.

►ꢀ Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).

►ꢀ Lift the spare wheel towards the back of the

boot.

►ꢀ Put the tool box back in place in the middle of

the wheel and clip it in place.

►ꢀ Take the wheel out of the boot.

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 an automatic gearbox, select mode P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,

unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch

off the ignition.

In the event of a breakdown

►ꢀ To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of the

bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).

►ꢀ 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

wheel

►ꢀ Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

►ꢀ Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space

between the wheel and the ground to easily admit

the spare (not punctured) wheel.

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the

ground is slippery or loose, the jack may

slip or collapse - risk of injury!

If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the

washers A do not make contact with the steel

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

is held in place by the conical contact surface

B of each bolt.

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 on the vehicle.

Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the

vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of

injury!

►ꢀ 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.

►ꢀ Fit the wheel on the hub.

►ꢀ 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.

In the event of a breakdown

After changing a wheel

Changing a bulb

Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,

depending on version, remove the central cover

first to store it beneath the floor in place of the

spare wheel.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

after the lamps have been on for a few

minutes.

With a "space-saver" type spare wheel

Never look too closely at the light beam of

LED technology lamps - risk of serious eye

injury!

►ꢀ Lower the vehicle again fully.

►ꢀ Fold jack 6 and remove it.

Deactivate certain driving aid functions (Active

Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control, etc.).

Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed

of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum distance

of 50 miles (80 km).

Driving with more than one "space-saver" type

spare wheel is prohibited.

Visit a dealer or a qualified workshop.

Have the tightening of the spare wheel's

bolts and its tyre pressure checked.

Have the punctured tyre examined. After

inspection, the technician will advise you on

whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must

be replaced.

The headlamps have polycarbonate

lenses with a protective coating:

►ꢀ Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

►ꢀ Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 5

only.

–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive

cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products.

– Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product.

►ꢀ Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts

(depending on equipment).

– When using a high-pressure washer on

persistent marks, do not keep the lance

directed towards the headlamps, lamps or

their edges for too long, so as not to damage

their protective coating and seals.

►ꢀ Store the tools.
