contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain the one that was intended
by the manufacturer.
The jack meets European standards, as
defined in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/
CE.
The jack does not require any maintenance.
Accessing the spare wheel
► Access to the spare wheel is from the rear .
► Depending on version, open the side-hinged
doors or the tailgate.
To avoid any unwanted opening of the electric side door(s), deactivate the
Hands-Free Tailgate Access function in the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the Hands-free
sliding side door , refer to the corresponding
section.


► If the vehicle is fitted with a towbar , raise
the rear of the vehicle using the jack (must be
at jacking point B) to allow sufficient space to
remove the spare wheel.
Remove the spare wheel from the
carrier


► Access the carrier bolt, located on the rear
door sill. ►

Slacken the bolt using the wheelbrace (about
14 turns) until the carrier is low enough to allow
the carrier hook to be disengaged.


► Release the carrier from the hook, take the
spare wheel and place it next to the wheel to be
changed.
Refit the spare wheel in the carrier

head comes into contact with jacking point A or
B, whichever is used; contact surface A or B on
the vehicle must be correctly engaged with the
central part of the head of the jack.
►

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground, to
then easily fit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip
or collapse.
Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's contact
surface is correctly centred on the head of the
jack. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to
the vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing.

8Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the
washers A do not make contact with the steel
or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel
is held in place by the conical contact surface
B of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
Go promptly to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.
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 under-inflation detection
The steel spare wheel does not have a
sensor.
Wheel with wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel
trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the
valve and then pushing the trim into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
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.
Halogen bulbs (Hx)
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
Opening the bonnet/Accessing the
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 -
risk of strangulation!
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in
reverse order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to
guarantee the sealing of the lamps. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
