Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and non-slippery ground. Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to lock the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamps in the instrument panel are on (not flashing). If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed. 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.
List of operations
 Remove the chromed bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to
equipment).  Fit the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt.
 Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
* position R for the electronic gearbox system.

247Practical information
 Place the jack 2 in contact with one of the two front A or rear B locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.  Extend the jack 2 until its base plate is in contact with the ground. Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below the location A or B used.  Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
 Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.  Remove the wheel.

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting it is normal to notice that the
washers do not come into contact with the steel or "space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical contact of each bolt.
List of operations
 Put the wheel in place on the hub.  Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.
 Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 .  Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" type spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.

249Practical information
 Lower the vehicle fully.  Fold the jack 2 and detach it.  Tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 . Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.  Refit the chromed bolt covers on each of
the bolts (according to equipment).  Store the tools in the box.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps are fitted with polycarbonate glass with a protective coating:  do not clean them using a dr y 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 protective coating and seals.
 Do not touch the bulb directly with your fingers, use lint-free cloths. Changing a 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. Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type and specification.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be replaced by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Bulbs with lugs, type H1, H7... take care to position them correctly to ensure the best lighting.
