pressure of the spare wheel checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.
When using the "space-saver" type spare
wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
When you drive with the spare wheel
fitted, you should deactivate the lane
departure warning system.
