Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch
off the ignition and engage first gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp on the parking brake
control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
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.
* position R for the electronic gear control gearbox; P for the automatic gearbox.
List of operations
Remove the bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to equipment).
Fit the security socket 5 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt (if your vehicle has them).
Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
Place the jack 2 in contact with one of the two front A or rear B locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.
Extend the jack 2 until its base plate is in contact with the ground. Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below the location A or B used.
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.
Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver" spare wheel
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.
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.
