Tyre pressure kit

Depending on the vehicle, in the event of a punc­ture, use the tyre inflation kit. The compressor
adapter and the bottle are located in rear storage

compartment 1 (for vehicles with a standard chas­sis) or 2 (for vehicles with a long chassis);

Refer to Section 5 of your driver’s handbook.

Parking distance control

On equipped vehicles, the parking distance control
measures the distance between the rear (and, de­pending on the vehicle, the front) of the vehicle and
any obstacles that are nearby.

When approaching an obstacle during manoeuvres,
the beeps become faster and then sound continu­ously when 25 cm from the obstacle.

The parking distance control can be deactivated
using the switch located on the dashboard.

Emergency spare wheel

Depending on the vehicle, there is an emergency
spare wheel 3 provided in the event of a puncture
underneath the vehicle.
– In the luggage compartment, lift cover 5;
– remove the blanking cover;
– use tool 6 to fully unscrew the nut so that the

wheel retaining cable unwinds and the wheel

drops to the ground;
– stand the wheel up outside the vehicle;
– press on lock 4 and turn it a quarter of a turn;
– run the retaining cable across the wheel rim and

release the wheel;
– depending on the vehicle, take out the shim from

inside the wheel rim.
