To refit emergency spare wheel B
Stand the wheel up with the valve to-
wards you. Pass the cable through the
rim and reposition lock 5. Position the
wheel so that valve 6 is nearest the
ground.
From the luggage compartment, tighten
the bolt fully in order to wind the retain-
ing cable, ensuring that the wheel re-
mains horizontal and the cable taut.

Emergency spare wheel B
It is located under the vehicle. In the
luggage compartment, lift cover 3 and
remove the blanking cover. Only use
the wheel brace 4 (using a different tool
could damage the mechanism) to unroll
the retaining cable, making sure it re-
mains taut, and the wheel falls to the
ground.
From outside the vehicle, stand the
wheel up, press lock 5 and rotate it
quarter of a turn. Remove the cable
from the rim to release it.

As the punctured wheel
is wider than the emer-
gency spare wheel, when
you place the punctured
wheel in the emergency spare
wheel bay, the vehicle’s ground
clearance is reduced. To pre-
vent damage, proceed 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 driv-
ing speed must not exceed the
speed indicated on the label on
the wheel. Replace the emer-
gency spare wheel as soon as
possible with a wheel with the
same dimensions as the original.
