SAFETY
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 must be 
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
 After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen or broken into, have the airbag 
systems  checked.  
  Front  airbags 
 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 
 Fit only approved covers on the front seats, 
compatible with the deployment of lateral 
airbags. For information on the range of 
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact 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.

  Removing the wheel to be repaired 
   -   Remove the trim using the screwdriver  F  
as a lever. 
  -   Release the bolts using the wheelbrace   E . 
  -   Position  the  jack   C   at one of the four 
locations provided on the underbody 
near the wheels.  
  Spare  wheel 
  The spare wheel retaining bolt is located 
below the bumper on the right. 
   -   Turn the bolt using the long socket   A  
and the ratchet wrench   B  to release the 
wheel. 
  -   Turn to the locking point, indicated by  an increase in the force required for the 
manoeuvre.    -   Take out the spare wheel using the 
wrench. 
  -   Unscrew  the  handle   G   and remove the

  Refitting the repaired wheel 
 Refitting the repaired wheel is the same as 
fitting the spare wheel; don't forget to refit 
the wheel trim.  Refer to the "Technical data - 
Identification markings" section for the 
location of the tyre pressure 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 or a 
qualified workshop without delay. 
 Also, have the original wheel repaired and 
refitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.  
  Fitting the spare wheel 
   -   Put the spare 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 long socket   A  in the hole then 
wind the bolt fully, using the ratchet 
wrench   B , to raise the wheel. 
  -   Stow the tools and the trim.   
 If you have a retractable foot board, the jack 
must be positioned at 45°. 
   -   Extend the jack using the ratchet  wrench   B  until the wheel is a few 
centimetres off the ground. 
  -   Unscrew the bolts fully and remove the  wheel to be repaired.
