which is supported only by a jack.

 For vehicles with steel wheels, re-

ﬁt the wheel trim starting by plac-

ing its notch facing the valve and

press with the palm of the hand.

 For vehicles with alloy wheels, reﬁt

the covers.

These original equipment wheels are

ﬁtted with a pressure sensor (see

paragraph "Tyre under-inﬂation detec-

tion"). The warning which detects the

removal or absence of a wheel ﬁtted

with the pressure sensor signals the

anomaly. Have the wheel repaired and

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

After changing the wheel:

-

have the tightness of the bolts and

the tyre pressure of the spare wheel

checked as soon as possible.

have the punctured wheel repaired

and reﬁt it to the vehicle as soon as

possible.



Put the tool holder back in position.

This helps to keep the boot ﬂoor in its

correct position, to prevent any de-

formation of the ﬂoor when loaded.

 Tighten the spare wheel securing

strap to prevent noise and for your

safety in the event of impact.

have the spare wheel checked and

replace it in its boot recess.

Recommendations when using

the temporary spare wheel*

Your vehicle may be equipped with a

spare wheel with a different rim to that

of the standard wheel.

After use, replace it as soon as possible.

Follow the recommendations below

to avoid any alteration in vehicle han-

dling:

-

do not drive above 50 mph (80 km/h),

do not ﬁt a wheel trim,

drive carefully,

check the inﬂation pressure indicated

on the label.

* According to version and country.

Special features of alloy

wheels

VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN*

If your vehicle is ﬁtted with a steel spare

wheel, when ﬁtting it, it is normal when

tightening the bolts to notice that the

washers do not come into contact with

the rim. The spare wheel is secured by

the cone shape of each bolt.

The very cold climate screen is a par-

tial removable cover which is clipped

onto the air intake grille to prevent the

accumulation of snow due to direct

splashes.

Once it has been ﬁtted on your vehicle,

it must be removed when the ambient

temperature rises above 10 °C again.

Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

Fitting snow tyres

If you ﬁt snow tyres mounted on steel

wheels onto your vehicle, it is essen-

tial to use special bolts available from

your PEUGEOT dealer.

Security bolts

Your wheels are ﬁtted with security

bolts (one per wheel), placed under

chrome trims which must be removed

using the yellow tool, before the bolts

are unscrewed using the security bolt

socket and the wheelbrace 1.

This security bolt socket was

given to you on delivery of

your vehicle with the duplicate

keys. Make a careful note of

the code number engraved on the

head of the security bolt socket. This

will enable you to obtain a duplicate

security bolt socket from a PEUGEOT

dealer. You are advised to do the same

for the duplicate keys.

215/55 R17 tyres cannot be

ﬁtted with standard snow

chains, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

Bolt covers

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by

chrome trims.

Use the yellow tool to remove the trims

before slackening the bolts.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Without lifting (4 wheels on

the ground)

Special requirements with an

automatic gearbox

You must always use a towing bar.

The removable towing eye is inside

the spare wheel.

When towing with the engine switched

off, there is no braking or steering as-

sistance.

Failure to observe this special require-

ment may lead to the destruction of

certain braking units and the absence

of braking assistance when the engine

is re-started.

When towing with four wheels on the

ground, the following rules must be

observed:

-

lever in position N,

-

tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph

(50 km/h) over a maximum dis-

tance of 30 miles (50 km).

-

do not add oil to the gearbox.

Place the gear lever in neutral

(position N in the case of the

automatic gearbox).

Lifting (2 wheels only on

the ground)

Towing a vehicle with an auto-

matic gearbox in reverse gear

FITTING ROOF BARS

(SALOON)

When ﬁtting transverse roof bars,

use the four quick-ﬁt ﬁxings provided

for this purpose. Lift the concealing

ﬂaps and adjust the roof bar quick-ﬁt

ﬁxings.

Maximum authorised weight

on the roof rack, for a loading

height not exceeding 40 cm

(with the exception of bicycle

carriers): 80 kg.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the

speed of the vehicle to the proﬁle of

the road to avoid damaging the roof

bars and the ﬁxings on the roof.

Be sure to refer to national legislation

in order to comply with the regulations

for transporting objects which are lon-

ger than the vehicle.

Maximum authorised weight

on the roof bars, for a loading

height not exceeding 40 cm

(except bicycle carriers): 100 kg.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the

speed of the vehicle to the condition of

the road, to avoid damaging the roof

bars.

Please refer to national legislation to

comply with the regulations regarding

the transportation of objects which are

longer than the vehicle.

FITTING ROOF BARS (407SW)

When ﬁtting transverse roof bars, en-

sure that they are positioned correctly.

The correct positions are shown by

marks on each of the longitudinal

bars.

Use accessories approved by PEUGEOT

and follow the manufacturer's ﬁtting in-

structions.

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant

temperature.

TOWING A TRAILER, BOAT,

CARAVAN, ETC...

Lighting

Automatic adjustment

We recommend the use of original

PEUGEOT towbars and their harness-

es which have been tested and ap-

proved from the design stage of your

vehicle and that you entrust the ﬁtting

of the towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.

If the towbar is not ﬁtted by a PEUGEOT

dealer, it is imperative that it is ﬁtted us-

ing the electrical pre-equipment installed

at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance

with the manufacturer's instructions.

To avoid causing a nuisance to other

road users, this system automatical-

ly corrects the height of the beam of

xenon bulbs in relation to the vehicle

load after approximately 2 minutes.

The driver is then assured of having

optimum lighting.

Note: in certain cases of par-

ticularly arduous use (towing

the maximum load in high

temperatures on steep

a

slope), the engine automatically lim-

its its power and selects the appropri-

ate automatic gearbox gear in manual

mode. In this case, switching off the air

conditioning saves engine power and

increases towing capacity.

Driving advice

If the coolant temperature

warning lamp comes on, stop

the vehicle and switch off the

engine as soon as possible.

Distribution of loads: distribute the

load in the trailer so that the heavi-

est loads are as close as possible to

the axle and the nose weight is close

to the maximum authorised without,

however, exceeding it.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-

creases the coolant temperature.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on

the engine speed.

In the case of vehicles ﬁtted with an

HDI engine, it is advisable, following

intensive use (towing on a motorway,

prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-

gine running at idle for approximately

20 seconds before switching off the ig-

nition. This limits any increase in the

temperature of the engine after it has

been switched off.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the

towing vehicle (label on the central

door pillar on the driver's side) and of

the trailer towed, observing the recom-

mended pressures.

Brakes: towing increases the braking

distance. Drive at a moderate speed,

change down early and brake gradu-

ally.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is

increased. Drive smoothly and at a

moderate speed.
