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 in
preference.
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
aperture, 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 on
any 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 settle
down to a consistent average.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the level of light does not require their
use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

To remove the shelf:
)
unhook the two cords,
)
raise the shelf slightly, then remove it.
There are several options for storing the shelf:
- either upright behind the front seats,
- or flat at the base of the boot.
Rear parcel shelf
The hooks can be used to secure shopping
bags.
Hooks
Access to the storage box
An additional hook under the shelf is
used to hold up the boot floor using its
cord, to facilitate access to the tools
and spare wheel or the temporary
puncture repair kit...

Use
)
Extract the torch from its location pulling it
upwards.
)
Press the switch, located on the back,
to switch the torch on or off.
)
Unfold the suppor t, located on the back,
to set down and raise the torch; for
example, when changing a wheel.
Storing
)
Put the torch back in place in its location
starting with the lower part.
If you have forgotten to switch off the torch,
this switches it off automatically.
Storage box
)
Raise the boot carpet for access to
the storage box.
This has areas for the storage a box of spare
bulbs, a first aid kit, two warning triangles...
It also contains the vehicle tools, the temporary
puncture repair kit...
It the torch is not engaged correctly,
it may not charge and may not come on
when the boot is opened.

Safety
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to identify
the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a malfunction in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s). All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried 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 qualified
workshop. This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to the "Identification
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic per formance
of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the
tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).
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 detection
system may experience temporary
inter ference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when one
or more wheels without a sensor are
fitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

249Practical information
Changing a wheel
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare wheel 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.

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
Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
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.

253Practical 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 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.
