The spare wheel is installed in the boot under the floor. Depending on version, the spare wheel may be a standard size steel or alloy wheel, or for some countries it is the "space saver" type. For access to the spare wheel, refer to the paragraph "Access to the tools" on the previous page.
Access to the spare wheel
T y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must be repaired by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
Taking out the standard wheel
Unscrew the yellow central bolt. Raise the spare wheel towards you from
the rear. Take the wheel out of the boot.
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.

1. Brake lamps (P21/5W).2. Sidelamps (LEDs).3. Direction indicators (PY21W amber)4. Reversing lamp (P21W).
5. Rear foglamps (P21W).
Rear lamps
Amber bulbs, such as those for the
direction indicators, must be replaced by bulbs of the same rating and colour. The lamps on the tailgate, other than
the guide lamps, are dummy units. They are there for aesthetic purposes only.
Changing stop lamp, reversing lamp and direction indicator bulbs
These three bulbs are changed from inside the boot:
open the boot, remove the access grille from the
corresponding side trim panel, slacken the two nuts using a 10 mm tube
spanner then remove the nuts by hand, unclip the lamp unit connector, extract the lamp unit carefully pulling in its middle towards the outside,
remove the foam seal, unclip the two small secondary connectors,
spread the two tabs and remove the bulb holder,
turn the bulb a quarter of a turn and change it. To reassemble, carry out these operations in reverse order. Take care to engage the lamp unit in its guides, while keeping it in line with the vehicle. Tighten sufficiently to ensure sealing, but without damaging the lamp.
