PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)

In case of puncture

Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-

tion kit or emergency spare wheel is

provided (refer to the following pages).

Special note

The Tyre Pressure Monitor function

does not check the emergency spare

wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-

gency spare wheel disappears from the

instrument panel display).

Refer to the information on the “Tyre

pressure monitoring system” in

Section 2.

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.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the

four 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 with the

same dimensions as the original.

– 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.

5.3

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 product bottle. If

droplets 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.

5.4

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)

With the engine running and the

parking brake applied,

If the recommended pressure of

1.8 bar cannot be achieved after

10 minutes, repair is impossible. Do

not drive the vehicle. Consult an au-

thorised dealer.

– Disconnect any accessories from the

vehicle’s accessories sockets;

1

– refer to the information on the in-

flation kit compressor located in

the boot of the vehicle and follow the

instructions;

– inflate the tyre to the recommended

pressure (please refer to the infor-

mation in the section on “Tyre pres-

sures”);

– after a maximum of 10 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 1).

2

In the event of a puncture, use the kit

located in the boot, underneath the

boot carpet.

Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), the

pressure gauge 1 will indicate briefly

a pressure of up to 6 bars, then the

pressure drops.

– Adjust the pressure: to increase

it, continue inflation with the kit. To

reduce it, press the button 2.

If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

Before using this kit, park

the vehicle at a sufficient

distance from traffic, switch

5.5

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)

– Start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 37 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre; after driv-

ing a distance of 2 miles (3 km), stop

and check the pressure.

dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.

lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 10 consecutive minutes.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation end piece 3 to prevent any prod-

uct spatter and store the container in

plastic packaging to prevent product

leaks.

The container must be replaced after

the first use even if liquid remains

inside.

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

– Affix the driving recommendation

label to the dashboard where it can

easily be seen by the driver;

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.

– 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;

If wheel bolts are supplied in the

tool kit, 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 un-

derside of the vehicle.

If you have a puncture, re-

place the wheel as soon as

possible.

Atyre which has been punc-

tured should always be inspected

(and repaired, where possible) by a

specialist.

5.10

TYRES (1/3)

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-

tial to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres

conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tread has worn down to the

wear warning strips, these strips will

become visible 2: it is then necessary

to replace your tyres because the tread

rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at

most, resulting in poor road holding

on wet roads.

2

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.

1

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 tread wear indica-

tors 1 which are indicators moulded

into the tread at several points.

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. In this

case, have the condition of these

checked by an approved dealer.

5.11

TYRES (2/3)

The pressures should be checked cold:

ignore higher pressures which may be

reached in hot weather or following a

high speed journey.

Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure

monitoring system

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

Please refer to the information on the

“Tyre pressure monitoring system” in

Section 2.

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may

be an adapter which needs to be posi-

tioned on the valve before air is added.

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on “Puncture”

and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear

and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead

to:

– poor road holding,

– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.

Changing a wheel

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).

As the tyre pressure moni-

tor may take several min-

utes to correctly determine

the positions of the wheels and the

pressure values after driving, check

the tyre pressures following any op-

eration.

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

TYRES (3/3)

Studded tyres

Fitting new tyres

Use in winter

This type of equipment may only be

used for a limited period and as laid

down by local legislation. It is neces-

sary to observe the speed specified by

current legislation.

Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

bidden.

Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which

are larger than those originally fitted to

the vehicle.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be

fitted to the two front wheels.

For your safety, please re-

spect the speed limit.

Snow or Winter tyres

We would recommend that these be

fitted to all four wheels to ensure that

your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

sion.

When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and profile

should be used on a single axle.

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.

They must: either have a load ca-

pacity and a speed capacity at

least equal to the original tyres,

or correspond to those recom-

mended by your authorised

dealer.

In all cases, we would recommend

that you contact an authorised

dealer who will be able to advise you

on the choice of equipment which is

most suitable for your vehicle.

Failure to heed these instructions

could endanger your safety and

affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-

ness.

Risk of loss of control of the ve-

hicle.

Snow chains may only be

fitted to tyres of the same

size as those originally

fitted to your vehicle.

18” wheels and larger

cannot be fitted with

chains.

If you wish to use special

equipment, consult an approved

dealer.
