Special features of the alloy  
wheels*  
Fitting the spare wheel  
Anti-theft bolts**  
If your vehicle is fitted with a steel  
spare wheel, it is normal to notice  
that the bolt washers do not come  
into contact with the rim. The spare  
wheel is secured by the cone shape  
of each bolt. Tighten the bolts fully.  
If your wheels are fitted with an anti-  
theft bolt (one per wheel), the chro-  
me trim and then the plastic cover  
must be removed using tool 3, befo-  
re unscrewing the bolt using one of  
the two anti-theft sockets (which  
were given to you on delivery of your  
vehicle with the duplicate keys and  
the confidential card) and the wheel  
brace 1.  
Bolt covers  
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by  
chrome trims.  
Use tool 3 to remove the trims befo-  
re slackening the bolts.  
Fitting snow tyres  
If you fit snow tyres mounted on  
steel wheels, it is essential to use  
special bolts available from your  
PEUGEOT dealer.  
Comment: make a careful note of  
the code number engraved on the  
head of the anti-theft socket. This  
will enable you to obtain a duplicate  
of the anti-theft sockets from a  
Peugeot dealer.  
* According to specification.  
** According to model and destination.
