- with the handbrake applied,

- with ﬁrst or reverse gear engaged

(position P for the automatic gear-

box),

- never go underneath a vehicle which

is supported only by a jack (use a

ramp).

After changing the wheel:

- have the tightening of the bolts and

the tyre pressure checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer as soon as pos-

sible,

- have the punctured wheel repaired

and reﬁt it to the vehicle as soon as

possible,

any deformation of the ﬂoor when

loaded.

 Tighten the spare wheel securing

strap to prevent noise and for your

safety in the event of impact.

Fitting the spare wheel

Special features of alloy

wheels

Anti-theft bolts

Bolt covers

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by

chrome trims.

Use the yellow tool to remove the trims

before slackening the bolts.

If your vehicle is ﬁtted with a steel

spare wheel, when ﬁtting it, it is nor-

mal to notice when tightening the bolts

that the washers do not come into

contact with the rim. The spare wheel

is secured by the cone-shape of each

bolt.

If your wheels are ﬁtted with an anti-

theft bolt (one per wheel), the chrome

trim must be removed using the yellow

tool, before unscrewing the bolt using

the anti-theft socket and the wheel

brace.

Note: the anti-theft socket

was given to you on delivery

of your vehicle along with the

duplicate keys and the conﬁ-

dential card.

Fitting snow chains

If you wish to ﬁt snow chains on your

vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer

to ﬁnd out which models are recom-

mended for your vehicle.

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 socket from a

PEUGEOT dealer.
