tyre reaches 2.0
bars. The sealant product
is injected under pressure into the tyre; do
not disconnect the hose of the valve during
this operation (risk of blowback).
If after around 5 to 7
minutes the pressure
of 2
bars is not attained, this indicates

Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake.
Switch the ignition off.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
lever in position R to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
lever in position P to block the wheels.
Check for fixed illumination of the parking
brake warning lamps in the instrument
panel.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Removing a wheel
F Place the foot of jack 2 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the front
A or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the jack is stable on a sur face
that is not loose or slippery and positioned
only at jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the jack head is
centred at the contact point on the vehicle.
Other wise, there is a risk of damage to
the vehicle and/or the jack collapsing or
slipping – Risk of injury!
List of operations

F Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B ,
whichever is used; the contact area A or B
on the vehicle must be correctly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
F

Ra
ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.
Fitting a wheel
Fitting a steel or "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 steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical contact of each bolt.

spare wheel, do not exceed 50
mph
(80

km/h).
If your vehicle is fitted with 16 or 17-inch
wheels, use the "space-saver" type
spare wheel and do not exceed 50 mph
(80

km/h).
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
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.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen 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 must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o 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
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. 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.
