Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to auto-
matic mode, switch off the igni-
tion and engage fi rst gear * to lock
the wheels.
Check that the braking warning
lamps on the instrument panel
are on (not fl ashing).
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.

*

position R
for the electronic gearbox
system; P
for the automatic gearbox.
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.

Place the jack 2
in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever 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.

)

cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.

Fitting a wheel


Fitting a steel or "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, when tightening the bolts
on fi tting 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.

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, fi rst remove the cen-
tral 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 qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as
soon as possible.

CHANGING A BULB
The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:


)
do not clean them using a
dry 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 pro-
tective coating and seals.



)
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, 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 specifi cation.

Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be
replaced by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
