In the event of a breakdown
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 "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical contact
of each bolt.


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

Pre-tighten the anti-theft bolt using the
wheelbrace 5

fitted with the anti-theft socket 2
(according to equipment).
►

Pre-tighten the other bolts using wheelbrace
5

only.


► Lower the vehicle again fully .
► Unwind jack 6
to lower and detach it.


► Tighten the anti-theft bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 fitted with the anti-theft socket 2
(according to equipment).
►

T
ighten the other bolts using wheelbrace 5
only.
►

Refit
the bolt cover(s) (depending on version).
►

Store the tools in the support box.
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.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

Opening the bonnet/Access to bulbs
Proceed with caution when the engine is
hot - risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan -

pulling the tab.
►

Disconnect the bulb connector
.
►

Detach the two springs (press then remove
towards the outside).
►


Pull out the bulb and replace it.
The zone behind the right-hand lamp may reach a high temperature
(degassing hoses nearby): risk of burns.

In the event of a breakdown
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
►

Raise lever

A
fully to release clamp
B
.
►

Remove clamp

B
by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever A fully.
► Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
► Push clamp B fully down.
► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
►

Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the

(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever, as it will not lock
in place if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–

Remote control key
.
–

Electric blind.
–


Electric windows.
–


Date and time.
–


Preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the \
towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a\
valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an \
approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.
A professional recovery service must be called if:
– broken down on a motorway or main road;
– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or re\
lease the parking brake;
– not possible to tow a vehicle with an automatic gearbox, with the engine\
running;
– towing with only two wheels on the ground;
– four-wheel drive vehicle;
– no approved towbar available.

Technical data
Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100
km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
