PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

(1/2)

On equipped vehicles, this is located

underneath the chassis.

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 some cases (puncture at the rear,

vehicle with towing equipment, etc.)

it may be necessary to lift the vehi-

cle beforehand (via the lifting point

closest to the affected wheel) to pro-

vide access to the emergency spare

wheel (please refer to the informa-

tion on “changing a wheel: vehicle

with standard wheels” in Section 5).

TOOL KIT

Location of the tool kit

Tool kit 1 is located under the driver’s

seat.
To remove the tools, move the seat

forward and fold down the seatback

(please refer to the information on the

“Front seats” in Section 1).

Contents of the tool kit

(depending on the vehicle)
– hydraulic jack 2;

– towing hitch 3;

– hubcap tool 4;

1

Do not leave the tools unsecured 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: risk of

injury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, you must only use these bolts for the

emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.

The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances

should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to gain access

to the underside of the vehicle.

Nothing should be placed

on the floor area in front of

the driver as such objects

may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

TYRE INFLATION KIT

(1/6)

A

B

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.
This repair is temporary.
A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and

repaired, where possible) by a spe-

cialist.
When taking a tyre which has been

repaired using this kit to be replaced,

you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair product bottle. If

droplets do leak out, rinse them off

with plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

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.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in

good condition.

Inflation kit C

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use inflation kit 1 located

underneath the driver’s seat.
Move the driver’s seat forward and fold

down the seatback to access the infla-

tion kit.
Open it.

Screw compressor adapter 3 to con-

tainer 2 and clip onto compressor D.
The bottle must remain in an upright

position.
Unscrew the valve cap on the tyre con-

cerned.
Screw inflation adapter 4 onto the

valve.

Before using this kit, park the vehicle at a sufficient distance from traffic,

switch on the hazard warning lights, apply the handbrake, ask all passen-

gers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.

Do not pull out the foreign

body causing the puncture

if it is still in the tyre.

Affix the driving recommendation label

to the dashboard where it can easily be

seen by the driver;
Store the kit underneath the driver’s

seat.
Start the vehicle immediately in order

to the distribute the product in the tyre

and, after 6 miles (10 km) or 10 min-

utes driving, stop to check the pres-

sure. To do this, fit adapter 3 onto the

tyre valve. If the pressure is less than

the recommended pressure, adjust it

(refer to the information on “Tyre pres-

sures”), otherwise contact an approved

dealer: repair is not possible.

Precautions when using the

kit

– the kit should not be operated for

more than 15 consecutive minutes;

– when driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

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.

3

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing 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.

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.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation adapter 3 to prevent any prod-

uct spatter and screw the tyre inflation

hose 4 to the bottle opening 2 to pre-

vent the product from escaping.
