Puncture, spare wheel

In the event of a puncture

Depending on the vehicle, you have either a spare wheel or a tyre inflation kit (refer to the following pages).

Spare wheel

• Open the tailgate;
• set the load floor to the intermediate position (refer to the section "Luggage compartment fittings" in chapter 3);
• lift the luggage compartment mat;
• remove the tool kit by lifting it by its handles;
• unscrew the central fixing;
• remove the spare wheel.

Note: store the punctured wheel in the storage bag supplied with the tool kit and place it in the luggage compartment.

If the spare wheel has been stored for many years, have your garage check that it is still suitable and can be used safely.

Vehicle fitted with a spare wheel different from the other four wheels:

• Never fit more than one spare wheel to the same vehicle.
• Replace the spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identical to the original.
• During use, which must be temporary, do not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.
• Fitting this wheel may change the vehicle's usual handling. Avoid sudden acceleration or braking and reduce your speed when cornering.
• If you need to use snow chains, fit the spare wheel on the rear axle and check the inflation pressures.
