205In the event of a breakdown8Putting the spare wheel back in the carrier►Position the wheel facing the carrier.►Progressively return the wheel to the carrier by pushing alternately at left and right until it is clear of the hook fixing area.►Engage the carrier on the hook, then tighten the bolt using the wheelbrace handle until the bolt is tight.Removing a wheelParking the vehicleImmobilise 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 modePto 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 trimWhen 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.►With a steel wheel, remove the wheel trim using tool 7.►With an alloy wheel, remove the cap from each of the bolts using tool 7.►If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt socket 8 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security bolt.►Slacken (without removing) the other wheel bolts using just wheelbrace 5.Wheel with wheel trimWhen removing the wheel, first remove the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture using the wheelbrace.►Place the foot of the jack on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the A or B jacking point provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.
206In the event of a breakdown►Extend jack 6 until its head comes into contact with jacking point A or B, whichever is used; the contact surface A or B of the vehicle must be correctly engaged with the central part of the head of the jack.►Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground, to then easily fit the spare (not punctured) wheel.Risk of injury!Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or collapse.Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's contact surface is correctly centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing.►Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.►Remove the wheel.Fitting a wheel►Fit the wheel on the hub.►Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.►Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace5 equipped with a security socket8.►Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace5 only.►Lower the vehicle again fully.►Fold jack6 and remove it.
207In the event of a breakdown8►If your vehicle is so equipped, tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace5 equipped with a security socket8.►Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace5 only.►Store the tools.Fitting a steel spare wheelIf the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the washers A do not make contact with the steel spare wheel. The wheel is held in place by the conical contact surface B of each bolt.After changing a wheelStow the punctured wheel in the carrier.With a non-standard spare wheelDeactivate certain driving aid functions (Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control, etc.).Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed of 50 mph (80km/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.Wheel with wheel trimWhen refitting the wheel, refit the wheel trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the valve and then pushing the trim into place all round its edge with the palm of your hand.Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.For more information on Identification markings, particularly this label, refer to the corresponding section.Changing a bulbIn 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.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 / lamp has been switched off for several minutes - risk of serious burns!Do 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.
