MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 30633
For your safety, always change the wheel:
- on level, stabIe and non-slippe- ry ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with first gear or reverse enga- ged (position Pfor the automa-
tic gearbox).
Never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack.(Use a ramp).
To fit the wheel After positioning the wheel, pre- tighten the bolts using the wheel-brace. Lower the jack and remove it.Fully tighten the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace. Fit the wheel trim starting with the section by the valve and press intoplace using the palm of the hand.
Removing the wheel Park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground. Apply the handbrake, engage first gear or reverse (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox). Remove the wheel trim by using the wheelbrace and pulling next to thevalve.
Warning: your wheel trims are fitted
with dummy nuts. Do not use them to remove your wheel trims. 4-door:
Use the jack storage box to
chock the wheel diagonally oppositethe wheel to be changed. Loosen the wheel bolts.Place the jack in the location designed for it, as close as possible to the wheelto be changed. Ensure that the whole of the base of the jack is in contact with the ground. Extend the jack, fully loosen the wheel bolts and remove the wheel. Refitting the wheel in the carrier
Raise the wheel, then the carrier, and resecure it on the hook. Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier securing bolt. After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts
and the tyre pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible,
- have the punctured wheel repaired and refit it to thevehicle as soon as possible.
