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.

Fitting the towball
Remove the protective blanking plug from the
carrier and check the condition of the fixing
system. If necessary, clean the carrier with a
brush or clean cloth.
Take the towball from the storage bag.
Remove the protective cover from the ball.
Stow the plug and cover in the storage bag.
Check that the towball is unlocked (position B).
If not, insert the key in the lock and turn the
key clockwise to unlock the mechanism.
Then press the locking wheel and turn it fully
clockwise.
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by
verifying the following points:
-

t
he towball is correctly locked in place
(position A ),
-

t
he security key lock is on and the key
removed; the locking wheel can no
longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must no longer move at all in
its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the towball when a trailer or
load carrier is fitted.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross
Train Weight - GTW).
Before driving, check the adjustment of the
headlamp beam height.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamps, refer to the corresponding
section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load
carrier, the trailer harness socket must be
folded away, the towball removed and
the
protective blanking plug inserted in the
carrier. This measure applies particularly
if the towball could hinder visibility of the
number plate or lighting.
