Fitting a wheel
Fitting the 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 spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
shoulder of each bolt (see drawing).
When refitting the alloy wheel, ensure
that the wheel bolt washers are clean
and in good condition.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, first remove the central
c ove r.
If your vehicle has a "standard" 15 -inch
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80

km/h).
If your vehicle is fitted with 16 or 17-inch
wheels. use the "space-saver" type
spare wheel and 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 tyre repaired and
the wheel refitted to the vehicle as soon
as possible.
