washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
Brake disc wear status
Brake pads Handbrake
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn. For information relating to
checking the brake disc wear
status, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the handbrake travel is too
long or if a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed, the
handbrake must be adjusted,
even between two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing book-
let for the details of the level
checking interval for this com-
ponent.

pressure.

 Connect the compressor pipe di-
rectly to the valve of the repaired
wheel.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Fixing the steel spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, it is normal to notice, when
tightening the bolts on fi tting, that
the washers do not come into con-
tact with the steel spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.
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 or alloy.
To gain access to it, refer to the para-
graph "Access to the tools" on the previ-
ous page.

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.

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 handbrake, switch off the
ignition and engage fi rst gear * to
lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that
the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Removing the wheel
List of operations

 Remove the chromed bolt cover from
each of the bolts using the tool 3 .

 Fit the anti-theft socket 5 on the
wheelbrace 1 to unlock the anti-theft
bolt.

wheelbrace 1 only.

 Place the jack 2 in contact with one
of the two front A or rear B locations
provided on the underframe, 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 P for the automatic gearbox.
