If a tyre gets a puncture
Observe the tightening
torque for the wheel studs
(98 ± 10 Nm).
On completion of the operation:
– Thoroughly deflate the spare wheel,
exerting pressure on the valve
through the protruding piece of the
valve cap.
– Position the jack and the wrench
with the bushing in their box and put
it back into the spare wheel.
– Place the spare wheel into its bag
and secure it inside the luggage
compartment.
The used wheel may soil the
mats: protect them if possible.
After refitting the standard
wheel, check the tyre
pressure.
The jack can be used only to
replace the wheels. It should
never be used for repairs
under the vehicle.
