174 - Practical advice
Do not leave the tools
unsecured inside the
vehicle as they may be
projected during braking.
After use, check that all the tools
are correctly fitted into the case,
then place the case correctly in its
storage compartment to avoid
any risk of injury.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used
for carrying out repairs
underneath the vehicle or to gain
access to the underside of the
vehicle.
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
monitoring system
If the tyres are under-inflated
(puncture, low pressure, etc.), the
warning light appears on the
instrument panel: refer to the
information on "Tyre pressure
monitoringsystem"inSection2.
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 spare wheel has
been stored for several
years, have it checked
by your Dealer to ensure
that it is safe to use.
– Never fit more than one
emergency spare wheel to the
same vehicle.
– Using the emergency spare
wheel at the rear may reduce the
vehicle's ground clearance.
– 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.
