The spare wheel is stored in the luggage compartment under the floor.

Depending on the country of sale, the user is provided with either a "space-saver" spare wheel or a temporary tyre repair kit.

To access it, refer to the section "Access to the tools".

Fitting the "space-saver" spare wheel If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, it is normal that when tightening the bolts while refitting the wheel, the bolt caps do not touch the space-saver wheel. The wheel is held in place by the conical clamping surface of each bolt.

Removing the wheel

Wyjmowanie koła

  • Loosen the central yellow bolt.
  • Lift the spare wheel by pulling it towards you.
  • Remove the wheel from the luggage compartment.

Stowing the wheel

Chowanie koła

  • Place the wheel in its position.
  • Unscrew the central yellow bolt by a few turns, then fit the bolt into the centre of the wheel.
  • Tighten the central bolt firmly until it clicks, to secure the wheel.
Chowanie koła

  • Place the tool box back in its position in the centre of the wheel and clip it in.
  • Put the polystyrene container back in its position.
  • Place the mat back on the luggage compartment floor, folding it slightly in half (see section "Luggage compartment equipment").
On vehicles fitted with a "space-saver" spare wheel, the punctured wheel can be placed in the spare wheel's position; unfortunately, the flat floor of the luggage compartment will then no longer be available.
