In the event of a breakdown

Changing a bulb

If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation

detection, check the tyre pressures and

reinitialise the system.

For more information on Under-inflation

detection, refer to the corresponding

section.

The lamps have polycarbonate lenses with

a protective coating:

F do not clean them using a dry or

abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent

or solvent product,

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare

wheel

F use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product,

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,

when tightening the bolts on refitting it is

normal to notice that the washers do not

come into contact with the steel or "space-

saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured

by the conical contact of each bolt.

Wheel with trim

F when using a high pressure washer

on persistent marks, do not keep the

lance directed towards the lamps or

their edges for too long, so as not to

damage their protective coating and

seals.

When refitting the wheel, refit the trim

starting by placing its notch facing the

valve and press around its edge with the

palm of your hand.

After changing a wheel

Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible.

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.

The tyre inflation pressures are given on

this label.

Changing a bulb should only be done after

the lamp has been switched off for several

minutes (risk of serious burns).

F Do not touch the bulb directly with your

fingers, use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the

lamp.

Always replace a failed bulb with a new

bulb of the same type and specification.

Some driving aid functions should be

disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.
