If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the
washers A do not make contact with the steel
or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel
is held in place by the conical contact surface
B of each bolt.

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.
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...
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...
Other information:
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control based
on the driving style, the road profile and the
vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also
manages engine braking when the accelerator
pedal is released...
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow
chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow chains
and maximum authorised speeds...
