TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install
a wheel which is not detected by
your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer
to the "Identifi cation markings" para-
graph) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a sensor.
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to locate
the wheel concerned.

 Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
Flat tyre The
STOP warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.

 Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

 Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system is an aid to driv-
ing which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant or to
drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to locate the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a
fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (be-
ing repaired) or when one or more
wheels without a sensor are fi tted.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
According to country, the spare wheel
may be steel, alloy or of the "space-
saver" type.
To gain access to it, refer to the para-
graph "Access to the tools" on the previ-
ous page. Taking out the wheel

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt.

 Raise the spare wheel towards you
from the rear.

 Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the wheel back in place

 Put the wheel back in its housing.

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a
few turns then put it in place in the
centre of the wheel.

 Tighten fully until the central bolt
clicks to retain the wheel correctly.

 Put the box back in place in the cen-
tre of the wheel and clip it.

 Put the polystyrene storage box
back in place.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fi t-
ted with a sensor. The punc-
tured wheel must be repaired by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where
it does not block traffi c: the
ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to automatic
mode, switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp on the park-
ing brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be changed.
The occupants must get out of the ve-
hicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Removing a wheel
List of operations

 Remove the chromed bolt cover
from each of the bolts using the
tool 3 (according to equipment).

 Fit the security socket 5 on the
wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security
bolt.

 Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.

 Place the jack 2 in contact with one
of the two front A or rear B locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.

 Extend the jack 2 until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B used.

 Raise the vehicle until there is suf-
fi cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.

 Remove the bolts and store them in
a clean place.

 Remove the wheel.
* position R for the electronic gear
control manual gearbox; P for the
automatic gearbox.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with al-
loy wheels, when tightening the bolts
on fi tting 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
contact of each bolt.
Fitting a wheel
List of operations

 Put the wheel in place on the hub
using the centring guide 4 .

 Screw in the bolts by hand to the
stop.

 Pre-tighten the security bolt using
the wheelbrace 1 fi tted with the
security socket 5 .

 Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.

 Lower the vehicle fully.

 Fold the jack 2 and detach it.

 Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1 fi tted with the security
socket 5 .

 Tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.

 Refi t the chromed bolt covers on
each of the bolts (according to
equipment).

 Store the tools in the box.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, fi rst 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 with-
out delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as soon
as possible.
