Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record 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 system, a drop in the brake fl uid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If 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
qualifi ed workshop.






















Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is strictly prohibited
.

CHANGING A WHEEL


Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear (position P
for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
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.
Specifi c to your vehicle, it is stored in the
glove box.
Wheelbrace: for removal of the wheel fi xing
bolts.
Jack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.



TOOLS REQUIRED *

Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt fi nishers (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
