Fitting the spare wheel  
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.
