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 contact 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 replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.
Position the base plate of the jack on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the location A or B used. Extend the jack until its head is in contact with A or B . Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient 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.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack might slip and drop. Position the jack only at the locations Aor B . Ensure that the head of the jack is positioned centrally on the jacking location. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and the jack may drop.
