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.

in the boot could present a danger to
passengers in the vehicle.
Furthermore, the towball and the boot
risk being damaged.
For any work on the towbar, go to
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

It is recommended that the removable towball
be safely stowed, preferably in a storage space
below the boot floor.
