Temporary puncture
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.
Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
Repair procedure

Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
t h e f l o o r.
For access to the spare wheel, first refer to
section on Access to the tools.
Depending on version, the spare wheel is
a standard size steel or alloy wheel.
For some countries of sale, it is the
"space saver" type.
Removing the wheel
F Slacken the central nut.
F R emove the fixing parts (nut and bolt).

Removing a wheel
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 , after
tightening the wheel bolts, 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.

wheel and clip it in place.
In the event of a breakdown

245
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with a manual
gearbox, engage first gear so as to lock
the wheels.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with an
automatic gearbox, select mode P so as
to lock the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel are on
fixed (not

flashing).
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. F

T
o remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
F
F

it the security socket 2 on the wheelbrace
5
to slacken the security bolt.
F

S
lacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 o n l y. F

P
lace the foot of the jack 6 on the ground
and ensure that it is directly below the front
A or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
8
In the event of a breakdown

246
Fitting a wheel
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or drop – 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. Other wise, there is a risk of
damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack
dropping
– Risk of injury!
F

E

xtend the jack 6 until its head comes
into contact with the jacking point A or B ,
whichever is used; the contact area A or
B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
F
Ra
ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily. F

R
emove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
F

R
emove the wheel.
Fitting a steel or "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 steel or
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical contact of each
bolt.
In the event of a breakdown

247
After changing a wheel
Put 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 "space-saver" type spare wheel Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel 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.
The following is recommended:
-
d
eactivate some driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise
control with Stop function, etc.), as
indicated on the label attached to the
wheel,
-

d
o not exceed the maximum
authorised speed of 50

(80


km/h).

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d

abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
F

on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.

In the event of a breakdown

248
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp
has been switched off for several
minutes – Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
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.

For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
