PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Fitting a steel or "space-saver"
type spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, it is normal to notice, when
tightening the bolts on fi tting, that
the washers do not come into con-
tact with the steel or "space-saver"
type spare wheel. The wheel is
secured by the conical contact of
each bolt.
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is supported by a
winch system underneath the rear of
the vehicle.
According to country, the spare wheel
may be steel, alloy or of the "space-
saver" type.
Taking out the wheel
)
Lift up the cover eyelet, pull the
cover upwards, then pivot it to open
the fl ap; these actions release the
winch and give access to its control
nut.
)
Unscrew this nut fully, using the
wheelbrace 1
, to unwind the winch
cable.
)
Once the wheel/box is on the
ground, disengage the assembly
from the rear of the vehicle.
)
Detach the hook mechanism to
release the wheel/box assembly, as
shown in the illustration.
)
Take out the black plastic centring
cone.
Access to the set of tools
)
Lift up the wheel to release the set
of tools.
)
To open the storage box, slide the
cover until half open, then pull it off.

the centre of the wheel (on steel or
"space-saver" type wheels only).
)
Pass the hooking device through
the cone and the wheel to secure it
to the box cover.
)
Raise the wheel/box assembly
underneath the rear of the vehicle
by tightening the winch control nut
using the wheelbrace 1
.
)
Fully tighten the nut.
)
Close the fl ap with the eyelet and
cover to secure the winch.
)
Check that the wheel is located
squarely against the fl oor.
If not, repeat the operation.
If you purchase a wheel of standard
size to replace the "space-saver"
type spare wheel, the spacer, lo-
cated underneath the vehicle, must
be removed. Contact a PEUGEOT

does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-slip-
pery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off
the ignition and engage fi rst gear *
to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that
the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.

of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody,
whichever is closest to the wheel to
be changed.

Model with xenon and directional
headlamps The headlamps are fi tted with poly-
carbonate glass with a protective
coating:
)
do not clean them using a dry
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
)
use a sponge and soapy water,
)
when using a high pressure
washer 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,
)
do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi
ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has been
switched off for a few minutes (risk
of serious burns).

new bulb with the same type and
specifi cation.
