and, if necessary, have the tyre changed.

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.

In the event of a breakdown

► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in

the middle of the wheel.

Depending on version, the spare wheel

may be a standard steel, non-standard or

'space-saver' wheel.

Wheel with wheel trim

When removing the wheel, first remove

the wheel trim by pulling with both hands on

one of the upper arms.

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.

Removing the spare wheel

► Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain

the wheel correctly.

► Put the tool box back in place in the middle of

the wheel and clip it in place.

► Slacken the central nut.

► Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).

► Lift the spare wheel towards you from the

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

► Take the wheel out of the boot.

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.

Putting the spare wheel back in place

The punctured wheel cannot be put under

the boot floor.

on the instrument panel are on fixed.

The occupants must get out of the vehicle

and wait where they are safe.

► If the vehicle has steel wheels, remove the

wheel trim.

the jack.

► If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt

socket 2 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the

security bolt.

Fitting a wheel

► Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

space between the wheel and the ground to

easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.

For petrol and hybrid versions

► Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace

5 only.

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!

Never use an impact wrench on the

security bolt socket.

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.

For rechargeable hybrid and electric

versions

► 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.

If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the

wheel is held in place by the spherical contact

surface C of each bolt.

► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

► Remove the wheel.

► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into

contact with jacking point A or B; contact

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts

and its tyre pressure checked.

After changing a wheel

The punctured wheel cannot be stored in place

of the spare wheel. Place it in the boot.

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.

Changing a bulb

► Lower the vehicle again fully.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
