PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL

A
In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).
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 apply-
ing to the country you are in.
5.2
Emergency spare wheel
This is located in the luggage compart-
ment.
To access it:
– open the trunk lid.
– lift the boot carpet A. Depending on
the vehicle, remove the carpet.
– unscrew the central mounting located,
depending on the vehicle, under the
jack, in an anti-clockwise direction.
– remove the tool kit.
– remove emergency spare wheel.
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.
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.
