PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (4/4)
To lock the system:
– press nut 4, screwing it on fully until
it locks in place. Several turns will
be necessary. This operation is es-
sential to ensure that the wheel is
secure;
– return handle 5 to its original posi-
tion;
– clip on the tool kit;
– replace the cover then lower it and
replace the luggage compartment
carpet.
Note: if the tool kit does not lock in
place, check the tightness of nut 4 and
the correct positioning of handle 5.
Special features
The emergency spare wheel holder
should always be present when you are
driving even when the wheel itself is not
present: risk of water entering the ve-
hicle.
If you have to release it when it is not
holding a wheel, push the centre of the
wheel holder towards the ground while
pressing handle 4.
It is essential to lock the nut
so that the wheel is held se-
curely.
The system should only be
used with the original vehi-
cle wheels.

As the punctured wheel is
wider than the emergency
spare wheel, when you
place the punctured wheel
in the emergency spare wheel bay,
the vehicle’s ground clearance is
reduced. To prevent damage, pro-
ceed carefully when driving over
raised sections of road and when
dismounting pavements 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. Replace the emergency
spare wheel as soon as possible
with a wheel with the same dimen-
sions as the original.
