Fitting a wheel

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.

minutes - risk of serious burns!

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.

Do not touch the bulb directly with your

ﬁngers; use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the

headlamp.

Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb

of the same type and speciﬁcation. To avoid

lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

► Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

► Tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Reﬁt the bolt covers to each of the bolts

(depending on equipment).

Changing a bulb

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.
