- Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 5 only.
- Lower the vehicle again fully.

- Tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

After changing a wheel
With a
"space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions (Active Safety Brake, Adaptive Cruise Control, etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Driving with more than one "space-saver" type spare wheel is prohibited.
Go to a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's
bolts and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
Removing a wheel
Parking
the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition...
Changing a bulb
In
some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes...
