explanatory videos.
Procedure for changing a damaged wheel with
the spare wheel using the tools provided with
the vehicle. For more information on the Tool kit , refer
to the corresponding section.

parking brake and check that the brake
warning lamp is on.
With an electric parking brake, if not
programmed in automatic mode, apply the
parking brake and check that the brake
warning lamp and the P indicator lamp in
the parking brake control lever are on.
Switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
selector at position P to block the wheels.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type spare
wheel, 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 wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Tyre under-
inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.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 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
lamp.
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 –
LEDs
For replacement, 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.

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 faulty fuse using the existing
allocation tables and diagrams.
To remove or fit a fuse, it is essential to:
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 fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have
the electrical system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Replacement with a fuse not shown in the
allocation tables that follow may cause
a serious malfunction of your vehicle.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Installing electrical accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to check their comparability.
PEUGEOT accepts no responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting
from the installation of accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
PEUGEOT and not installed in accordance
with specifications, in particular when the
combined power consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds
10


milliamperes.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards. Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12
V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking
brake, put the gearbox in neutral, then
switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.
Access to the battery
F Remove the plastic cover to access the the (+) terminal.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine
mounting.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To access it:
F

O

pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch.
F

S

ecure the bonnet stay.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is flat, 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.
First check 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.
