Removing A Wheel - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

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.
Switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
gear selector at position R to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
gear selector at position P to block the
wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel come on.
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.
Never use:
- the jack for any other purpose than
raising the vehicle,
- a jack other than the one provided
by the manufacturer.
List of operations

the bolts using the tool 3 (according to
