PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL
In case of puncture
Depending on the vehicle, a tyre inflation kit or emergency spare wheel is provided (refer to the following pages).
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure etc.), the warning light on the instrument panel comes on. See “Tyre pressure loss warning” in Section 2.
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.
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.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the 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.
- The warning light on the instrument panel flashes for several seconds, then stays on.
Vehicle not fitted with a subwoofer
- Open the tailgate;
- place the mobile floor in the mid-way position (please refer to the section on “Boot storage” in Section 3);
- lift the boot carpet 2;
- unscrew the central mounting located under the jack;
- remove the tool kit 3;
- remove the emergency spare wheel 1.
Vehicle fitted with a subwoofer
- Open the tailgate;
- place the mobile floor in the mid-way position (please refer to the section on “Boot storage” in Section 3);
- lift the boot carpet 2;
- loosen the central mounting 4, disconnect the power cable 5 from the subwoofer 6 and remove the subwoofer (refer to the label A stuck to the subwoofer);
- remove the emergency spare wheel 1.
It is not recommended to replace and reconnect the subwoofer if a tyre is punctured: this may cause damage to the subwoofer.
Remove the subwoofer 6, refit it and reconnect it in the same position again. Handle it carefully. If not, this could impair the correct functioning of the subwoofer.
