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
washers do not come into contact with
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.
* According to country.
Special features of alloy wheels
Security bolts
Your wheels are fi tted with security
bolts (one per wheel), placed under
chrome trims which must be removed
using the yellow tool, before the bolts
are unscrewed using the security bolt
socket and the wheelbrace 1 .
Fitting snow tyres
If you fi t snow tyres mounted on steel
wheels onto your vehicle, it is
essential
to use special bolts available from your
PEUGEOT dealer.
This security bolt socket was
given to you on delivery of
your vehicle with the duplicate
