Where is the Spare Wheel in the Peugeot 5008?

This video shows where the spare wheel is located in the Peugeot 5008 and how to access it, useful in case of a puncture. As shown, the wheel is not in the usual boot compartment but underneath it, outside the vehicle. To free the wheel, first gather the tools provided, then open the boot, locate the small indicated hatch, and open it. Next, loosen the bolt just released using the large socket wrench enough to lower the wheel to the ground.
