and clip it in place.
Accessing the spare wheel



The spare wheel is held by a winch system
underneath the rear of the vehicle.
Only a "space-saver" type spare wheel
may be fixed underneath the vehicle.
Removing the spare wheel

the third row seat, on the left-hand side (if your
vehicle is equipped with it).
►

Lift the pre-cut section of carpet to release
the spare wheel

fixing winch nut.
►

With extension piece 8

placed on the end
of wheelbrace 5, "tighten" the nut to unreel the
winch cable until the spare wheel is flat on the
ground. Unreel as much as necessary in order to
access the wheel easily.

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 , 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.
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed to be in automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode

P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed to be in automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition.
Check for the fixed illumination of the parking
brake warning lamps in the instrument panel.
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.

200
In the event of a breakdown

► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
►

Fit security socket
2 on wheelbrace
5
to
slacken the security bolt.
►

Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace


5
only.


► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.


► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
►

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily

.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points

A
or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area of the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!


► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
►

Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or ‘space-saver’ type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy wheels,
the washers do not make contact with the
steel or ‘space-saver’ type spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical surface of
each bolt.


► Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
►

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace


5
equipped with a security socket
2
.
►

Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace


5
only.

201
In the event of a breakdown
8

► Lower the vehicle again fully.
► Fold jack 6 and remove it.


► Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2 .
►

T
ighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace

5
only.
►

Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).
►


Store the tools.
After changing a wheel
Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel.


With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80
km/h).
Driving with more than one “space-saver”
type spare wheel is prohibited.
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
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–


Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–


When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, 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 /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do 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.
