2011 Peugeot Expert VU spare wheel

18

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...). Use 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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after 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...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommended
by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.

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.

Repairing a wheel


PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT

The kit is located at the rear left of the
vehicle.
The temporary tyre repair kit consists of a
compressor and a cartridge (containing a
sealant).

Using the kit



- Switch off the ignition,

- affix the speed limitation sticker to the
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use,

- check that the switch A
is at position " 0
",

- connect the pipe of the bottle 1
to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired,

- connect the compressor's electrical plug
to the vehicle's 12 V socket,

- start the vehicle and let the engine run,

- switch on the compressor by pressing
the switch A
to position " 1
" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars,
- remove the compressor, unclip and
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid,

- drive immediately, for approximately
two miles (three kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture,

- stop to check the repair and the
pressure,
Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...). If, after approximately five to ten
minutes, you are not able to obtain
this pressure, the tyre cannot be repaired;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for roadside assistance.
