Practical information
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place. Remove the wheel.
Extend the jack 2 until it comes into contact with the location A or B used; the contact sur face A or B on the vehicle must be inserted into the central part of the head of the jack.
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the sur face is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury! Take care to position the jack only at the location A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the contact sur face on the vehicle is well centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk of injury!

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is normal to notice that the washers do not come into contact with the "space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical sur face of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" type spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare wheel checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.
List of operations
Put the wheel in place on the hub. Screw in the bolts fully by hand. Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 (if your vehicle has them). Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.

Practical information
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road sur face. It is recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Advice on installation
If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the road. Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle. Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h). Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information
Changing a bulb
Front lamps
A. Model with light guide
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
The headlamps are fitted with polycarbonate glass with a protective coating: do not clean them using a dr y or abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent or solvent product, use a sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product, 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. Changing a bulb should only be done after the headlamp has been switched off for a few minutes (risk of serious burns). Do not touch the bulb directly with your fingers, use a lint-free cloth. It is imperative to use only anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid damaging the headlamp. Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type and specification.
B. Model without light guide
1. Main beam headlamps (H7-55W).2. Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).3. Daytime running lamps / sidelamps (light emitting diodes - LEDs). 4.Direction indicators (PWY-24W). 5.Front foglamps (directional according to version) (H11-55W).

Practical information
Amber coloured bulbs, such as the direction indicators, must be replaced with bulbs of identical specifications and colour. When refitting, close the protective cover carefully to preserve the sealing of the headlamp.
Rapid flashing of the direction indicator warning lamp (right or left) indicates the failure of a bulb on that side.
Changing direction indicator bulbs
Turn the bulb holder a quarter of a turn and extract it. Pull out the bulb and change it. To reassemble, carry out these operations in reverse order.
