MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with a steel
spare wheel, when fitting it, it is
normal to notice when tightening the
bolts that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The spare
wheel is secured by the cone-shape
of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel
wheels to your vehicle, it is essential
to use special bolts available from
your PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-theft bolts*
If your wheels are fitted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), the chrome
trim and then the plastic cover must
be removed using tool 7, before
unscrewing the bolt using one of the
two anti-theft sockets (which were
given to you on delivery of your vehi-
cle along with the duplicate keys and
the confidential card) and the wheel
brace 1.
Note: make a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain duplicate anti-theft sockets
from a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model and destination.
