SPECIAL FEATURES
OF ALLOY WHEELS
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when fi tting it, it is
normal
to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fi t snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential
that you use special bolts
available from your CITROËN dealer.
* According to model and country.
ANTI-THEFT BOLT *
If your wheels are fi tted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be
unscrewed using an anti-theft socket
(which was given to you on delivery
of your vehicle along with the dupli-
cate keys and the confi dential card)
and the wheelbrace.
Note:
make a careful note of the
code number engraved on the top of
the anti-theft socket. This will enable
you to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from your
CITROËN dealer.
