Changing a wheel
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare w heel using the tools provided with the vehicle.
The tools are installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to them: open the boot, raise the floor, secure it by hooking its cord on the hook on the rear shelf suppor t, with a standard size spare wheel, unclip and remove the box in the middle of the wheel containing the tools,
or with a "space-saver" spare wheel; lift the wheel at the rear towards you for access to the storage box containing the tools.
Access to the tools
List of tools
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle. Do not use them for other purposes.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel , detach the trim first using the wheelbrace 1 pulling at the valve passage hole. When refitting the wheel , refit the trim star ting by placing its notch facing the valve and press around its edge with the palm of your hand.
3. "Bolt cover" tool.
For removing the bolt protectors (covers) on alloy wheels. 4. Socket for the security bolts (located in the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
1. Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and the wheel fixing bolts. 2. Jack with integral handle. For raising the vehicle.
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.
