Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode

P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.

82
In the event of a breakdown

â–º Remove each wheel bolt cover using the
tool 3 (alloy wheels).
â–º

Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace


1
only.


â–º Place the foot of jack 2 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.


â–º Extend jack 2 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
â–º

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points

A
or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!

place.
â–º

Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the
washers A do not make contact with the steel
or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel
is held in place by the conical contact surface
B of each bolt.


â–º Fit the wheel on the hub.
â–º Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
â–º

Pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace

1

only.

Store the tools.
After changing a wheel
Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel.
With a non-standard or 'space-saver'
spare wheel
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one spare wheel of
this type is prohibited.
The wheel trim from the replaced wheel must
not be refitted.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts
and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–


Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–


When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
