Practical information
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. The 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 cover. 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.
List of operations
Put the wheel in place on the hub. Screw in the bolts fully by hand. Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 . Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
