After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
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).
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 lamps 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 lamp 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 bulb,
you must contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
