(no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless


there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear

, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those
in
the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers very specific
products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can

form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT

dealer
or
a qualified workshop.

Check that the switch
B is in position "O".

153
RCZ_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
F Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I"
until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not
disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing). F

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep
the kit to hand.
F

Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres),

at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to
plug the puncture.
F


Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe
to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through
the pipe.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection,
the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel
has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT


dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT

CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first
gear (position P

for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
Check
that the parking brake indicator lamps are on fixed (not
flashing)

in the instrument panel.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants 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.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specific

to

your

vehicle,

it

is

stored

in

the

glove box.
Wheelbrace:


for

removal

of

the

wheel

fixing

bolts.
j

ack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.
TOOLS REQUIRE d*
Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt
finishers (covers) on alloy wheels.

Depending


on

the

country of sale, the vehicle may be equipped with
the tools needed to change a wheel and a spare wheel (see following
pages). Do not use:
-


the jack for any purpose other than lifting the vehicle,
-


a jack other than the one supplied with the vehicle.

REMOVING A WHEEL
F Position the foot of the jack on the ground directly below one of
the two front A or rear B jacking points provided on the underbody,
whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.
F

Remove the cover on each of the bolts using the bolt cover removal
tool.
F

Fit the security socket on the wheelbrace to slacken the security
bolt.
F

Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace only
.
F
Extend the jack until its head comes into contact with the jacking
point

A or B used; the vehicle's contact area
A or B must be
correctly engaged with the central part of the head of the jack.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose,
the jack may slip or drop. - Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at one of the jacking
points A or B under the vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact area is centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise there is
a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk
of injury!
