mately two miles (three kilome-
tres), at reduced speed (between
15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]),
to plug the puncture.

 Stop to check the repair and the
pressure.

 Connect the compressor pipe di-
rectly to the valve of the repaired
wheel.

 Switch on the compressor by
moving the switch A to posi-
tion "1" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2.0 bars. If this pressure has not been

 Connect the compressor's elec-
tric plug to the vehicle's 12 V
socket again.

 Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.

 Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch A
in position "1" ; to defl ate:
switch A in position "0" and
press button B ), in accordance
with the vehicle's tyre pressure
label (located on the door aper-
ture on the driver's side), then re-
member to check that the leak is
plugged correctly (no further loss
of pressure after several miles
[kilometres]).

 Remove the compressor, then
store the whole kit.

 Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h]).

 Visit a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible to have the tyre repaired
or replaced by a technician. Take care, the bottle of
sealant contains ethylene-

harmful if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes. Keep it out of
reach of children.
The expiry date of the sealant is in-
dicated on the base of the bottle.
The bottle is designed for a single
use; even if only partly used, it must
be replaced.
After use, do not discard the bot-
tle into the environment, take it to a
CITROËN dealer or to an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new
bottle of sealant, available from
CITROËN dealers.
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre
under-infl ation detection, the tyre
under-infl ation warning light will re-
main on after the wheel has been
repaired until the system is reini-
tialised by a CITROËN dealer.

veal the spare wheel carrier drive
on the right.

 Take the extension 8 clipped in
the rear of the well below the
right hand third-row seat.

 Lift up the spare wheel carrier
drive aperture cap.

 Fit the extension to the drive then
engage the head of the wheel-
brace 4 on the extension.

 Turn the assembly clockwise to
the end of its travel to lower the
spare wheel carrier; the spare
wheel is now resting on the
ground.

 Pull the wheel towards you and
pass the linking plate through
the centre of the wheel. With the damaged wheel
now under the vehicle fl oor,
the vehicle has reduced
ground clearance, so take extra
care when reversing or driving on
uneven surfaces, including kerbs.
Retrieval of the spare wheel and
stowage of the affected road wheel
are operations that should be done
with the vehicle supported on its
wheels, not by the jack.
Putting the wheel back in place

 The tyre valve must be facing
upwards.

 Pass the linking plate through
the centre of the wheel (fi rst re-
moving the central trim on certain
alloy wheels).

 Turn the carrier drive anti-
clockwise to draw in the carrier
cable. Initially the drive will turn
freely, then the cable will tighten
to raise the wheel.
Check that the wheel is tight against the vehicle fl oor and
not interfering with other nearby
components (e.g. the exhaust).

 Stow the tools.

when fi tting this it is normal to observe
that the wheel bolts do not come to
bear directly on the wheel rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the
conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s
shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolts and wash-
ers are clean and in good condition. Fitting a wheel
 Position the wheel with the aid of the centring guide 3 .

tion have tyre pressure sensors.
Have repairs to them carried out by
a CITROËN dealer. The spare wheel
does not have a sensor.
Security bolts (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with
one security bolt.
To remove it:

 Remove its protective cover us-
ing of the tool for removing the
chrome covers 2 .

 Use the security bolt socket 6

If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the normal
vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a la-
bel), it is imperative to use the spare
wheel only temporarily, to drive with
caution, not to exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) and to have the tyre re-
paired and the normal wheel refi tted
as soon as possible.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the la-

CHANGING A BULB
Procedure for replacing a faulty bulb
with a new bulb without the use of
tools. In some climatic conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
The headlamps are fi tted
with polycarbonate glass
with a protective coating:

 do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,

 use a sponge and soapy water,

 when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks, do
not direct at the lamps or their
outlines for too long, so as not
to damage their coating and
their seals.

 Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a halogen bulb should
only be done after the headlamp
has been switched off for a few
minutes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp. Dipped beam headlamps

 Remove the rubber cover.

 Rotate the bulb-holder a quarter
turn anti-clockwise and remove it
from its housing.

 Replace the faulty bulb.

 Reposition the bulb-holder by
pushing it in, tightening it by a
quarter turn clockwise.

 Refi t the rubber cover.
