F

R
emove the wheel. Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the housing for the standard
spare wheel.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
hub cap from the middle of the wheel so
that the fastening device (nut and bolt) can
be put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a cover to protect the
inside of the boot.
Fitting a wheel
Fastening 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
contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
using a "space-saver" type spare wheel.
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
reinstall it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done after
the headlamp has been switched off for
several minutes (risk of serious burns).
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some climate conditions (low
temperature, humidity), the presence
of mist on the internal sur face of the
headlamp and rear lamp glass is normal;
this disappears a few minutes after the
lights are switched on.Front lamps
