Composition of the kit
1.12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's
field of vision, to remind you that a wheel
is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50
mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.

Removing a wheel
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve
aperture using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel , after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the wheel trim,
starting by placing its aperture in line with
the valve and then pushing it into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.

F
C
heck that the wheel is properly flattened
against the floor. Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Pull up the parking brake, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode; switch
off the ignition and put the vehicle into first
gear * so as to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps in
the instrument panel are on (not flashing).
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

After changing a wheel
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced.
Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
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 must only be done with
the ignition off and 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 weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Light emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulbs,
you must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The following is recommended:
-
d
eactivate some driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Dynamic cruise
control with Stop function, etc.), as
indicated on the label attached to the
wheel,
-
d
o not exceed the maximum
authorised speed of 50
mph (80
km/h). Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
In the event of a breakdown
283
To refit, carry out these operations in reverse

F
t
urn the bulb a quarter turn, pull it out and

To reassemble, proceed in reverse order.
If changing a bulb within a few minutes
of switching off the ignition, take care not
to touch the exhaust – there is a risk of
burns!

For replacement, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Changing a fuse
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse:
F t he cause of the failure must be identified
and rectified,
F
a
ll electrical consumers must be switched
of f,
F
t
he vehicle must be immobilised with the
ignition off,
F
i
dentify the defective fuse using the existing
allocation tables and diagrams.
To replace a fuse, you must:
F
u
se the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of
its filament.
F
a
lways replace the failed fuse with a fuse
of the same rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause faults (risk of
f i r e).
If the fuse fails again soon after replacement,
have the vehicle's electrical system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
F
W
ithin one minute after switching off the
ignition, operate the wiper control stalk to
position the wiper blades in the middle of
the windscreen (maintenance position).

Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is placed near
the battery.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and
a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running. F
S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F
O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments
before trying again.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F
r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior lever,
F
l
ift the bonnet, then hold it in place with its
prop. F
L
ift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F
C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of flat battery A (at the metal
elbow) then to the positive terminal (+) of
backup battery B or the booster.
F
C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of backup
battery B or the booster (or an earth point
on the other vehicle).
F
C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.
