Practical information
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.
► Pull the interior release lever, located at the
bottom of the dashboard, towards you.
► Tilt the exterior safety catch to the left and
raise the bonnet.
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
* Depending on engine.
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer .
►
Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 19
mph (30 km/h) for metal
snow chains or 31 mph (50 km/h) for plastic
snow chains.
►
Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Always use snow chains compatible with the tyre size. Chains that are the wrong
size can damage the braking system,
suspension, bodywork and wheels.
Remove the wheel trims before installing the
snow chains.
Never exceed the maximum speed limit
stated in the snow chains user guide.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 100
kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Bonnet
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!

In the event of a breakdown
8Ensure 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 on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!
Stop raising the vehicle when the yellow
warning line appears on the jack cylinder.
► Remove the nuts and store them in a clean
place.
►
Depending on version, remove the wheel
trim.
►
Release the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
Fixing of the steel spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy
wheels, the washers do not make contact with
the steel spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical surface of each nut.
► Clean the contact surfaces between the
wheel and the hub.
►
Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the nuts by hand as far as possible.
► Pre-tighten the nuts using the wheelbrace 2
.
► Lower the vehicle again fully.
► Fold jack 4 and remove it.
► Tighten the nuts using the wheelbrace 2,
respecting the cross tightening order.
►
Refit the wheel trim (depending on
equipment).
►
Disassemble the extension 3
and the
wheelbrace 2.
►
Store the tools.

After changing a wheel
The use of the non-standard steel spare
wheel is temporary. The driver must drive
carefully at a moderate speed and limit the
distance covered.
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the nuts 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.
