Airbags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

The spare wheel retaining bolt is located
below the bumper on the right.
- Turn the bolt using the socket A
and the
ratchet wrench B
to release the wheel.

an increase in the force required for the
manoeuvre.

and remove the
support H

6. REFITTING THE REPAIRED WHEEL
Refitting of the wheel is identical to step 5,
do not forget to refit the wheel trim.
Refer to the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 9 to locate the tyre
label.
The spare wheel is not designed to be used
over long distances. Have the tightening of
the bolts and pressure of the spare wheel
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
Also, have the original wheel repaired and
refitted by a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
5. FITTING THE SPARE WHEEL
- Put the wheel in place on the hub and
start screwing in the bolts by hand.
- Carry out an initial tightening of the bolts
using the wheelbrace E
.
- Lower the vehicle completely by folding
the jack, then remove the jack.
- Tighten the bolts again using the
wheelbrace E
, tighten them fully without
forcing them.
- Stow the wheel to be repaired at the
rear of the vehicle.
- Hook the support H
and screw in the
handle G
.
- Insert the socket A
in the hole then
screw in the bolt, using the ratchet
wrench B
, to raise the wheel.
- Stow the tools and the trim.
Never go underneath a vehicle
supported only by a jack (use an axle
stand).
The jack and the tool kit are specific to your
vehicle. Do not use them for other purposes.
