spare wheel Peugeot 508 Hybrid 2014 Owner's Manual

11
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). u
s
e a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.the system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
th

e tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th

e system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
th

is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label
(see the "Identification markings"
section).
th

e tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
Safety

175
508_en_Chap07_securite_ed02-2014
the loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
th
e alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
th

e spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
the flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
th

is alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).

to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Under-inflation alert
the alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment). Any tyre repair or replacement on a

If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a P

In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is

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. t
h
e wheel
is secured by the conical sur face of
each bolt.
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 P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
