In the event of a breakdown

Depending on version, the spare wheel

may be a standard steel, non-standard or

'space-saver' wheel.

Checking/adjusting tyre

pressures

The compressor can be used, without injecting

sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the

tyre pressures.

Removing the spare wheel

For more information on the Tool kit,

refer to the corresponding section.

► Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep

it in a clean place.

► Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.

► Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten

ﬁrmly.

► Check that the compressor switch is in

position "O".

► Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under

the compressor.

► Connect the compressor's electric plug to the

vehicle's 12 V socket.

Spare wheel tyre pressure

The inﬂation pressure for the spare

wheel is indicated on the tyre pressure label

- ensure that its inﬂation pressure is checked

regularly.

For more information on Identiﬁcation

markings, particularly the tyre pressure label,

refer to the corresponding section.

► Slacken the central nut.

► Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).

► Lift the spare wheel towards you from the

rear.

► Switch the ignition on.

► Start the compressor by placing the switch at

position "I" and adjust the pressure to the value

shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To

deﬂate: press the black button located on the

compressor pipe, near the valve connection.

► Take the wheel out of the boot.

Accessing the spare wheel

Putting the spare wheel back in place

The punctured wheel cannot be put

under the boot ﬂoor.

If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is

not reached, the tyre is damaged;

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop for assistance.

► Once the correct pressure is reached, put the

switch in position "O".

► Remove the kit and stow it.

► Reﬁt the cap on the valve.

The spare wheel is stored under the boot carpet.

To access the spare wheel, ﬁrst refer to the Tool

kit section.

In the event of a breakdown

► Put the spare wheel back in place in its

housing.

► Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.

► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in

the middle of the wheel.

► Tighten the central nut suﬃciently to retain

the wheel correctly.

► Depending on version, put the tool box back

in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in

place.

Wheel with wheel trim

When removing the wheel, ﬁrst remove

the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture

using the wheelbrace.

When reﬁtting the wheel, reﬁt the wheel

trim, starting by placing its aperture in line

with the valve and then pushing it into place

all round its edge with the palm of your hand.

► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and

ensure that it is directly below the front A or

rear B jacking point on the underbody, whichever

is closest to the wheel to be changed.

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.

With an automatic gearbox, select mode P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,

unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch

oﬀ the ignition.

Check that the parking brake indicator lamps

on the instrument panel are on ﬁxed.

The occupants must get out of the vehicle

and wait where they are safe.

If necessary, place a chock under the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.

Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a

jack; use an axle stand.

► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of

the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).

► Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to

slacken the security bolt.

► Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into

contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A

or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted

into the central part of the head of the jack.

► Raise the vehicle until there is suﬃcient

space between the wheel and the ground to

easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.

168

In the event of a breakdown

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the

ground is slippery or loose, the jack may

slip or collapse - risk of injury!

Take care to position the jack strictly at

one of the jacking points A or B under the

vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is

centred under the contact area on the vehicle.

Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the

vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of

injury!

Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type

spare wheel

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.

► Lower the vehicle again fully.

► Fold jack 6 and remove it.

► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

► Remove the wheel.

► Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

► Tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Reﬁt the bolt covers to each of the bolts

(depending on equipment).

► Fit the wheel on the hub.

► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.

► Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

► Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Store the tools.

169

In the event of a breakdown

After changing a wheel

their edges for too long, so as not to damage

their protective coating and seals.

Changing a bulb

With a non-standard or 'space-saver'

spare wheel

In some weather conditions (e.g. low

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

after the lamps have been on for a few

minutes.

Changing a bulb must only be done with

the ignition oﬀ and after the headlamp /

lamp has been switched oﬀ for several

minutes - risk of serious burns!

Do not touch the bulb directly with your

ﬁngers; use a lint-free cloth.

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) or the maximum

distance of 50 miles (80 km).

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the

headlamp.

Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb

of the same type and speciﬁcation. To avoid

lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

Never look too closely at the light beam

of LED technology lamps - risk of serious

eye injury!

Driving with more than one spare wheel of

this type is prohibited.

The wheel trim from the replaced wheel must

not be reﬁtted.

Reﬁtting the lamp units

Perform the operations in the reverse

order to dismantling.

Go to a PEUGEOT 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.

Light-emitting diode (LED)

headlamps and lamps

The headlamps have polycarbonate

lenses with a protective coating:

– Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive

cloth, nor with detergent or solvent

products.

Depending on version, the aﬀected types of

headlamps/lamps are:

– "LED" technology headlamps.

– Full LED technology headlamps.

– Front foglamps.

– Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product.

– When using a high-pressure washer on

persistent marks, do not keep the lance

directed towards the headlamps, lamps or

– Oﬀset daytime running lamps.

– Direction indicator side repeaters.

– Side spotlamps.

– 3D rear lamps.
