Removing A Wheel - PEUGEOT 508 Handbook

In the event of a breakdown

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode.
Switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
lever in position P to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
Do not use:
- the jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle,
- a jack other than the one supplied
by the manufacturer.
