before slackening the bolts. Refitting the spare wheel* If your vehicle is fitted with a steel spare wheel, when fitting the wheelit is
normal to notice that the bolt
washers do not come into contact
with the wheel. The spare wheel isheld in place by the conical supportof each bolt. Fitting snow tyres If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel rims onto your vehicle, it isessential to use special bolts avail-
able from a PEUGEOT dealer. Wheel anti-theft bolts* If your wheels are fitted with anti- theft bolts (one per wheel), thechrome-plated trim cap and then theplastic cover on the wheel must beremoved, using tool
4, before slack-
ening the bolt using one of the anti-theft sockets (handed to you alongwith the duplicate keys and the con-fidential card on delivery of yourvehicle) and the wheelbrace 1.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enableyou to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from a PEUGEOT dealer.
