SPECIAL FEATURES OF

normal to notice that the bolt wash -
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone shape of each bolt. Wheel anti-theft bolts
If your wheels are itted with anti-theft
bolts (one per wheel), the chrome-
plated trim cap and then the plastic
cover on the wheel must be removed,
using the
yellow tool (located in the
box ixed to the left-hand side of the
boot), before slackening the bolt us -
ing the anti-theft socket (located in
the glove box) and the wheelbrace,
located in the boot rear right inner
panel.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain a duplicate anti-theft socket
from a PEUGEOT dealer.

If you it snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential
that you use special bolts
available from your PEUGEOT dealer.

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
