Peugeot 208 (2017 year). Manual

159

In the event of a breakdown

Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.

Repair procedure

F Switch off the ignition.
F Secure the speed limit sticker inside the

vehicle.

F Uncoil the pipe stowed under the

compressor.

F Connect the pipe from the compressor to

the bottle of sealant.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies which
have penetrated into the tyre.

F Turn the sealant bottle and secure it in the

cut-out provided on the compressor.

F Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be

repaired, and place it in a clean area.

F Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant

to the valve of the tyre to be repaired and
tighten firmly.

F Check that the compressor switch is at the

"O" position.

F Uncoil fully the electric cable, stowed under

the compressor.

F Connect the compressor's electrical

connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Switch on the ignition.

160

In the event of a breakdown

F Start the compressor by turning the switch

to the "l" position until the pressure of the
tyre reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant product
is injected under pressure into the tyre; do
not disconnect the hose of the valve during
this operation (risk of blowback).

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure
of 2 bars is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
for assistance.

F Place the switch in the "O" position.
F Remove the kit.

F Drive immediately for approximately three

miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)),
to plug the puncture.

F Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit.

Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle by the
roadside, take it to a PEUGEOT dealer or
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Checking / adjusting tyre
pressures

You can also use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and, if
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures

F Remove the valve cap from the tyre and

place it in a clean area.

F Uncoil the pipe stowed under the

compressor.

F Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten

firmly.

161

In the event of a breakdown

F Check that the compressor switch is at the

"O" position.

F Uncoil fully the electric cable, stowed under

the compressor.

F Switch on the compressor by moving the

switch to the position "I" and adjust the
pressure as shown on the vehicle tyre
pressure label. To deflate: press the black
button on the compressor hose by the valve
connector.

F Once the correct pressure is reached, put

the switch to the "O" position.

F Remove the kit then stow it.

F Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Switch on the ignition.

Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding
section.

The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.

164

In the event of a breakdown

Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake.
Switch the ignition off.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
lever in position R to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
lever in position P to block the wheels.
Check for fixed illumination of the parking
brake warning lamps in the instrument
panel.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

Removing a wheel

F Place the foot of jack 2 on the ground and

ensure that it is directly below the front
A or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.

Ensure that the jack is stable on a surface
that is not loose or slippery and positioned
only at jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the jack head is
centred at the contact point on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to
the vehicle and/or the jack collapsing or
slipping – Risk of injury!

List of operations

F Remove the bolt cover from each of the

bolts using the tool 3 (depending on
equipment).

F Fit the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace

1 to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).

F Slacken the other bolts using wheelbrace 1

only.

165

In the event of a breakdown

F Extend the jack 2 until its head comes

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

F Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.

Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "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 steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical contact of each bolt.

F Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

F Remove the wheel.

166

In the event of a breakdown

List of operations

F  Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F  Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.
F  Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket
4 (if your vehicle has them).

F Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1 only.

F Lower the vehicle again fully.
F Fold the jack 2 and detach it.

F Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket
4 (if your vehicle has them).

F Tighten the other bolts using wheelbrace 1

only.

F Refit the bolt covers on each of the bolts

(according to equipment).

F Store the tools in the box.

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
If your vehicle has a "standard" 15-inch
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
If your vehicle is fitted with 16 or 17-inch
wheels, use the "space-saver" type
spare wheel and do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
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.

In the event of a breakdown

Changing a bulb

The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F do not clean them using a dry or

abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,

F use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product,

F when using a high pressure washer

on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the 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 has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F 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 with the same type and specification.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
