one of the front A or rear B jacking points
provided on the underbody, whichever is
closest to the wheel to be changed. F

might slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Position the jack only at the jacking
point A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the vehicle's contact
zone is correctly centred on the head
of the jack. Otherwise there is a risk
of damage to the vehicle and the jack

After changing a wheel
To stow the punctured wheel in place
of the spare wheel, first remove the
central cover.
When driving with the "space-saver"
type spare wheel fitted, do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightness of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refit it to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
With BlueHDi versions, the punctured
wheel cannot be stowed in place of the
space-saver spare wheel.
Use a cover to protect the boot.
Snow chains must only be fitted to the
front wheels. They must not be fitted to
a "space-saver" type of spare wheel.
If you have to fit snow chains with a
"space-saver" type of spare wheel in
use on a front wheel, interchange the
front and rear wheels on that side of the
vehicle.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels. Take account of the legislation in force in your
country on the use of snow chains and the
maximum running speed authorised.
Advice on installation
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
For more information on snow chains,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
