2012.5 Peugeot RCZ spare wheel

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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down
to a consistent average.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow tyres), you must have
the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation markings" section)
to ensure that the optimum dynamic performance of the vehicle is
maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in
arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month.
Remember to also check the pressure of the spare wheel if your
vehicle has one.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system may experience
temporary interference due to electro-magnetic signals on a
frequency close to that used by the system.


Puncture

The STOP
warning lamp comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement
of the steering wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.



Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an alert message to identify the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, this does not have a sensor.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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
pages).

REMOVING THE WHEEL


)
Place the jack in contact with one of the two front A
or rear B

locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
)
Raise the vehicle until there is suffi cient space between the wheel
and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.

)
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.

)
Remove the wheel.




)
Remove the cover on each of the bolts using the bolt cover removal
tool.

)
Fit the security socket on the wheelbrace to slacken the security
bolt.

)
Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace only.
)
Extend the jack until its base plate is in contact with the ground.
Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below
the location A
or B
used.

166









TOOLS AND SPARE WHEEL *

Depending on the country of sale, the vehicle is equipped with the tools
needed to change a wheel and may also be equipped with a spare
wheel.
The spare wheel is stowed in a protective cover, secured to the boot
fl oor with Velcro
®.
The tools are held in a storage box under the boot fl oor.

Never drive with the rear seat folded when the
spare wheel - or a punctured wheel - is present
in the boot.

Warning marking

"Do not release the backrest of the rear seats!"

*
According to country.


Access to the spare wheel *



)
Open the boot lid.

)
Remove the spare wheel by grasping the grip of its protective
cover.

)
Position the wheel vertically so as to read the warning markings.

)
Remove the Velcro
® located on the tyre tread.

)
Detach the straps, located on each sidewall, then slacken them.

)
Remove the wheel from its protective cover.
When refi tting the wheel into its cover, place it so that the valve is
opposite the strap fi xings.

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.

Use only the chains designed to be fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to
your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
235/45 R18
not chainable
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The snow chains must be fi tted only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.

Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is
recommended that before you leave, you practise fi tting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fi xings is in contact
with the wheel rim.
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
225/45 R18 9 mm


Advice on installation



)
If you have to fi t the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a
fl at surface on the side of the road.

)
Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.

)
Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.

)
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).

)
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly
tightened.

IDENTIFICAT ION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi cation of your vehicle.



A.
Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN) under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper
support.
For access to it, raise the plastic cover.
C.
Manufacturer's label.

The number is indicated on a self-destroying label affi xed to the
door aperture, below the door striker, on the right-hand side.
This label also indicates the unladen weight, the gross vehicle
weight (GVW) and the gross train weight (GVW).
For information concerning the possibilities for installing snow
chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at
least once a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.

B.
VIN on the windscreen lower crossmember.

This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen.
D.
Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the door aperture, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre infl ation pressures, laden and unladen,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer,

- the infl ation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.
