PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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 unless it
has been programmed to automatic
mode, switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P
warning lamp on the park-
ing brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be changed.
The occupants must get out of the ve-
hicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Removing a wheel
List of operations
)
Remove the bolt cover from each of
the bolts using the tool 3
(according
to equipment).
)
Fit the security socket 5
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security
bolt (if your vehicle has them).
)
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
)
Place the jack 2
in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
)
Extend the jack 2
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.
)
Raise the vehicle until there is suf-
fi 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.
*
position R
for the electronic gear
control gearbox; P
for the automatic
gearbox.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, fi rst 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
qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as soon
as possible.
Fitting a wheel
List of operations
)
Put the wheel in place on the hub
using the centring guide 4
.
)
Screw in the bolts by hand to the
stop.
)
Using the wheelbrace 1
fi tted with
the security socket 5
, pre-tighten
the security bolt (if your vehicle has
them).
)
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
)
Lower the vehicle fully.
)
Fold the jack 2
and detach it.
)
Using the wheelbrace 1
fi tted with
the security socket 5
, tighten the
security bolt (if your vehicle has
them).
)
Tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
)
Refi t the bolt covers to each of the
bolts (according to equipment).
)
Store the tools in the box.
Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with al-
loy wheels, when tightening the bolts
on fi tting 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.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
General
recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the
towed vehicle.
The person at the wheel of the towed
vehicle must have a valid driving li-
cence.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps
are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the en-
gine off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a motor-
way or fast road,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,
- where there is no approved towing
bar available...
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
