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 shoulder of
each bolt (see drawing).
When refitting the alloy wheel, ensure
that the wheel bolt washers are clean
and in good condition.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, first remove the central
c ove r.
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.

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
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.

chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.

Changing a bulb
Front lamps
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:
F

d

o not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
F
