Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to block the wheels. Check that the parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel come on. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
 Remove the bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to equipment).  Fit the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).  Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.

Practical information
 Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.  Remove the wheel.
 Extend the jack 2 until it comes into contact with the location A or B used; the contact sur face A or B on the vehicle must be inserted into the central part of the head of the jack.  Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the sur face is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury! Take care to position the jack only at the location A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the contact sur face on the vehicle is well centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk of injury!

Practical information
Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting, 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 sur face of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first 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 or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.
List of operations
 Put the wheel in place on the hub.  Screw in the bolts fully by hand.  Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 (if your vehicle has them).  Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.

Practical information

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Advice on installation
 If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the road.  Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle.  Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.  Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).  Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your
vehicle's tyres and the road sur face. It is recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Towing the vehicle
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to it:  open the boot,  lift the floor and remove it,  remove the towing eye from the holder.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - four-wheel drive vehicle, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available...
