SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELSFitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when itting it, it is
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.
Fitting snow tyres
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.
Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use the yellow tool 4 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.
Tool 4 is located on the rear right
inner panel of the boot. 95

method described in the paragraph
''Changing a wheel'' in the section
''Practical information'', except that
the folding shim located in the stor-
age box must be used to chock a
wheel.
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is registered, the jack

from those shown in the paragraph
''Changing a wheel'' in the section
''Practical information''.
The illustrations on this page show
the alternative version. The box also contains the tool pro-
