ment inside the vehicle). When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicators
fl ash for approximately thirty seconds.
After triggering, the alarm remains set,
ten times in succession.
On the eleventh time it will become
inactive again, until the next cycle of
deactivating then setting of the alarm.

Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use the yellow tool to remove the trims
before slackening the bolts.
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with a steel spare
wheel, when fi tting it, it is normal when
tightening the bolts to notice that the

the rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone shape of each bolt.
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *
The very cold climate screen is a par-
tial removable cover which is fi xed
onto the air intake grille to prevent the
accumulation of snow due to direct
splashes.
Once it has been fi tted on your ve-
hicle, it must be removed when the
ambient temperature conditions rise
above 10 °C again.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
