Tools
Accessing the tools
The tools are located in the luggage compartment. The presence of the various tools depends on the vehicle.
Unclip the flap A by placing your hand in the handle 1. Remove the flap.
After the using the tools, make sure you close the flap A. properly.
Jack 4
To use the jack, undo nut 2. When refit-ting, fold the jack before placing it in its housing.
Tighten the nut to secure the jack.
Wheelbrace 5
This is used to tighten/loosen the wheel bolts and, depending on the vehicle, to access the emergency spare wheel.
Hubcap tool 3
This tool is used to remove the wheel trims.
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking. After use, make sure the tools are correctly positioned in their housings: risk of injury.
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 underside of the vehicle.
PUNCTURE
In the event of a puncture, depending on the vehicle, you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre inflation kit (refer to the information on the following pages).
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.
Emergency spare wheel 4×2 version (2WD)
This is placed in cage 4 underneath the vehicle.
To take out the emergency spare wheel:
- Open the tailgate;
Undo bolt 2 using wheelbrace 1 (refer to the information on “Tools” in this section);
Detach the cage using handle 5;
Remove emergency spare wheel 3;
Turn the emergency spare wheel over and unclip protector 6.
To store the wheel in the cage:
- Clip protector 6 onto the punctured wheel;
Turn the punctured wheel over and slide it into cage 4;
Reattach the cage using the handle 5 and retighten the nut using the wheel brace 1 to refit the assembly; - Make sure it is correctly locked.
Emergency spare wheel 4×4 version (4WD)
This is located in the luggage compartment.
To access it:
- Open the tailgate;
Fold back the boot mat 7;
Unscrew the central mounting 9;
Remove the emergency spare wheel 8.
Note: ensure that the emergency spare wheel or punctured wheel and the wheel tray are correctly positioned so that the luggage compartment carpet can be properly fitted.
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 which is different to the four other wheels:
- Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identical to the original one.
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 cornering.
If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.
TYRE INFLATION KIT
The kit repairs tyres when tread A has been damaged 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.
Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.
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 re-paired, where possible) as soon as possible by a specialist.
When replacing a tyre repaired using this kit, 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 vehicle initially fitted 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 handling the repair liquid bottle. If droplets do leak out, rinse them off with plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from children.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle in the countryside. Return it to your approved dealer or to a recycling organization.
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.
- In the event of a puncture, use the kit C located in the luggage compartment on 4×2 versions or in the emergency spare wheel tray under the luggage compartment carpet on 4×4 versions.
- On 4×2 versions, unclip flap D.
- Before using this kit, park the vehicle at a sufficient distance from traffic, switch on the hazard warning lights, apply the handbrake, ask all passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle’s presence with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.
With the engine running and the par-king brake applied,
- Unroll the hose from the container;
Connect the compressor hose 3 to the container’s inlet 8;
Depending on the vehicle, connect the container 8 to the compressor from the container recess 7;
Unscrew the valve cap on the relevant wheel and screw on the container’s inflation adapter 1;
Adapter 2 must be connected to the vehicle accessories socket;
Press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the information in the section on “Tyre pressure”);
After a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the container is emptying (approximately 30 seconds), the pressure gauge 5 will briefly indicate a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pressure will then drop. - Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached after 15 minutes, repair is not possible; do not drive the vehicle but contact an approved dealer.
Nothing should be placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during sudden braking maneuver’s and obstruct their use.
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 the original ones and ensure they are tightly screwed on.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew the inflation adapter 1 to prevent any repair product from escaping and store the container in plastic packaging to prevent the product from escaping.
- Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver;
Put the kit away.
At the end of this initial inflation operation, air will still escape from the tyre. You must drive a short distance in order to seal the hole. - Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and 60 km/h) in order to distribute the product evenly in the tyre and, after driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and check the pressure.
If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended pressure (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door), read-just it. Otherwise, please contact an authorized dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.
Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes.
Following repair with the kit, do not travel further than 120 miles (200 km). In addition, 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.
WHEEL TRIM/WHEELS
Central wheel trim with visible wheel bolts (example: wheel trim 1)
The bolts are directly accessible.
Central wheel trim with visible wheel bolts (example: wheel trim 2)
Remove it using the hubcap tool, by inserting the hook near a wheel bolt.
To put it back, position hooks 4 in relation to bolts 3.
Push in the wheel trim’s retaining hooks.
CHANGING A WHEEL
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Park the vehicle away from traffic on flat ground with a good level of grip. Engage the hand-brake and put into gear (first or reverse).
Ask the passengers to leave the vehicle and to keep away from traffic.
Vehicles equipped with a jack and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim, refer to the information on “Wheel trims – Wheels” in this Section. Undo the wheel bolts using wheel brace 4. Fit it so that you press downwards rather than pulling upwards.
To prevent any risk of injury or damage to the vehicle, only crank the jack until the wheel you are replacing is a maximum of 3 centimeters’ off the ground.
Mark hole 1, which is the nearest to the wheel in question. The jack must be fitted in this location. Offer up jack 3 horizontally and position jack head 2 under the sill.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to align the base plate (which should be pushed slightly under the vehicle). Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts off the ground.
Remove the bolts.
Take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to align the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub.
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle’s presence with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the wheel is correctly positioned on its hub and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten the bolts firmly, beginning on side 5, then 7, 9, 6, and finishing with 8. Check the tightness (tightening torque 105 Nm), and the pressure of the emergency spare wheel’s tyre as soon as possible.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain these from your approved dealer.
Note: ensure that the emergency spare wheel or punctured wheel and the wheel tray are correctly positioned so that the luggage compartment carpet can be properly fitted.
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle’s presence with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.
TYRES
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be re-placed, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.
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 wear warning strips 1 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they 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.
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.
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. If such incidents occur, have the condition of these parts checked by an approved dealer.
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 any long journey (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
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 blowouts or throwing a tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the load and speed of use; adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use (refer to the information on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an in-crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may be an adapter which needs to be positioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large wheels. These are more sensitive to imbalance. If you experience vibration while driving, contact an approved dealer.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may change your vehicle as follows:
It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations;
It may change the way it handles when cornering;
It may cause the steering to be heavy;
It may affect the use of snow chains.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the “Emergency spare wheel” and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Changing wheels around
We recommend that you swap the wheels regularly in order to ensure that the tyres wear evenly.
Swap the wheels as shown in the above diagram. Refer to your vehicle’s maintenance document for the intervals.
Use in winter
Chains
2-wheel drive version (2WD)
Snow chains must be fitted to the front wheels.
4-wheel drive version (4WD)
Snow chains may be fitted to only the front wheels, or to all four wheels.
It is forbidden to fit snow chains to only the rear wheels.
Snow chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres.
Consult an approved dealer.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.
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.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend that you contact your approved dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

BATTERY: Troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that any consumers (courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery;
When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery;
to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals, do not place metal objects on the battery;
Always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery;
Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed.
Certain batteries may have specific recharging requirements; consult your authorized dealer. Avoid any risk of sparks, as this could cause a sudden explosion, and always charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water and consult a doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may start to operate at any moment. Risk of serious injury.
Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-other vehicle to start, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from an approved dealer or, if you al-ready have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the current and run it at an intermediate engine speed.
Connect the positive (+) lead A to (+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery, then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–) terminal 3 of the battery supplying the current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as it is running, disconnect leads A and B in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
Check that there is no contact between leads A and B and that the positive lead A is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: Batteries
Replacing the remote control battery
Undo screw 1 to remove the remote control cover.
The batteries are available from approved Dealers, and their service life approximately two years.
Check that there is no dye on the battery: risk of an incorrect electrical contact.
Replace battery 2 according to the direction marked on the cover.
Note: It is not advisable to touch the electronic circuit in the key cover when replacing the battery.
When refitting, ensure that the cover is correctly clipped on and the screw tightened.

TOWING: Breakdown
Towing procedure
The steering wheel must be unlocked and the ignition key must be in position M (ignition on) to provide stop lights and hazard warning lights on the towed vehicle. Always switch on the lights when driving at night.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is being towed.
You must observe the towing regulations which apply in the country in which you are driving: do not exceed the towing weight for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer.
When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assistance are not operational.
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking.
Front and rear towing points
Only use the front 1 and rear 2 towing points.
These towing points may only be used for towing: never use them for lifting the vehicle directly or indirectly.
- Use a rigid towing bar (except for off-road recovery). If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows this), the vehicle being towed must be able to brake.
A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven. - Use a rigid towing bar (except for off-road recovery). If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows this), the vehicle being towed must be able to brake.
