2011.5 Citroen DS5 RHD spare wheel

25
Familiarisation
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres onany trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic performance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduousdriving conditions (heavy load, highspeed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to thatused by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp andthe STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen identifying the wheelconcerned. )Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the brakes. ) Change the damaged wheel (punctured or
very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressurechecked as soon as possible.


Puncture

A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identi
fy the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Changing a wheel Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare wheel using the tools provided with the vehicle.
Th
e tools are installed in the boot under
the floor.
Access to the tools

on alloy wheels.4. Wheel trim remover.
For removing the alloy wheel finishers.
5. Socket for the security bolts (located in the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the special"security" bolts.
6.Wheel chocks for blocking the vehicle's
wheels.7. Towing eye.
See "Towing the vehicle". 8.Extension spanner.
For slackening/tightening the spare wheelcarrier nut. 9. Emergency release control for the electric parking brake.
See the "Electric parking brake" section, "Emergency braking".


Tyre under-infl ation detection

The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must berepaired by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Practical information

Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is suppor ted by a cable-driven carrier underneath the vehicle.
Ta k i ng out the wheel
)
Raise the floor to reveal the spare wheelcarrier drive nut.)
Turn this drive nut fully clockwise, using
the wheelbrace 1and the extension 8, tounwind the carrier cable.
) Detach the wheel from the rear of the
vehicle. ) Remove the hook with its connectionplate to release the wheel, as shown in
the illustration.) Pull out the wheel.

)Place the jack 2 in contact with one of the
two front A or rear Blocations provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be chan
ged.
)Raise the vehicle until there is sufficientspace 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.
) Extend the jack 2
until its base plate is incontact with the ground. Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directlybelow the location Aor B
used.

191Practical information

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "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 washersdo not come into contact with the "space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical surface of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To c o r r e c t ly store the punctured wheelin the boot ( not in the location of the space-saver wheel ), first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checkedby a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.


List of operations
)
Put the wheel in place on the hub. )
Screw in the bolts fully by hand.)Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1fitted with the security socket 5.)
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.

239Technical data























Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodyworknear the damper support.


The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month. The rear quar ter light cannot be etchedas it is made of polycarbonate material.


If the tyre pressures are too low,this increases fuel consumption. B.Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
C.Manufacturer's label.The VIN is indicated on a self-destroyinglabel affixed to the door aper ture, on the
passenger's side.
D.Tyre/paint label.This label is affixed to the centre pillar,on the driver's side. It bears the followin
g information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by themanufacturer,

- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.
