pressure.

)
Connect the compressor pipe di-
rectly to the valve of the repaired
wheel.
)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch A
to position "1"

cartridge contains ethyl-
ene-glycol. This product is
harmful if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes. Keep it out of
reach of children.
The expiry date of the sealant is
indicated on the base of the car-
tridge.
The cartridge is designed for a sin-
gle use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it
to a CITROËN dealer or to an au-
thorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.


Under-inflation detection

If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the tyre under-
infl ation warning lamp will remain on

wheel is now resting on the
ground.

)
Pull the wheel towards you and
pass the linking plate through
the centre of the wheel.
With the damaged wheel
now under the vehicle fl oor,
the vehicle has reduced
ground clearance, so take extra
care when reversing or driving on
uneven surfaces, including kerbs.
Retrieval of the spare wheel and
stowage of the affected road wheel
are operations that should be done
with the vehicle standing on its
wheels, not supported by the jack.

Putting the wheel back in place

Turn the carrier drive anti-clock-
wise
to draw in the carrier cable.
Initially the drive will turn freely,
then the cable will tighten to raise
the wheel.
Check that the wheel is tight
against the vehicle fl oor and
not interfering with other nearby
components (e.g. the exhaust).

)
Stow the tools.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION












Removing a wheel



)
Park the vehicle on level, stable
and non-slippery ground. Apply
the parking brake (a message
and a warning lamp appear in
the instrument panel).
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on the slope (position
P
if an automatic gearbox, D
or
R
if a 6-speed electronic gear-
box).

)
Use a chock to secure the vehi-
cle more safely. Place the chock
9
in front of the wheel opposite
the punctured wheel.
)
Detach the trim using the remov-
ing tool 4
, pulling in the area of
the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels,
insert the trim removing tool 1

into the recess in the central trim
and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels
that have visible bolts, remove
the chrome covers using the re-
moving tool 2
.
)
Slacken the wheel bolts. For ve-
hicles with alloy wheels, slacken
the security bolts using the secu-
rity bolt socket 6
.

)
Position the jack under the vehi-
cle, at the jacking point A
closest
to the wheel to be changed.

)
Unwind the jack 5
until its brack-
et is in contact with the ground.
Make sure that the jack is verti-
cal under the jacking point used.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Wheel for temporary use
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use only,
when fi tting this it is normal to observe
that the wheel bolts do not come to
bear directly on the wheel rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the
conical section of each wheel bolt.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolts and wash-
ers are clean and in good condition.


Fitting a wheel



)
Position the wheel with the aid of
the centring guide 3
.

)
Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then
remove the centring guide 3
.
Position the 4
th bolt.

)
Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, us-
ing the wheelbrace 4
.

)
Retract the jack 5
and disengage
it.

)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace 4
.

)
Ensure that the tyre pressure is
correct.

Under-infl ation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. It is essential to have repairs
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The spare wheel
does not have a sensor.



Security bolts (alloy wheels)

Each wheel may be equipped with
one security bolt (depending on
country of sale).
To remove it:


)
remove the protector that is cov-
ering it by means of the tool for
removing the chrome covers 2
.

)
use the security bolt socket 6

with the wheelbrace 4
.



Dimension of the spare
wheel
If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the normal ve-
hicle wheels (identifi ed by a label),
you must use the spare wheel only
temporarily, drive with caution, not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) and have
the tyre repaired and the normal
wheel refi tted as soon as possible.


Tyre pressures

These are indicated on the label
on the right-hand front door pil-
lar (see section "Technical Data -
§ Identifi cation markings").
The wheel bolts are specifi c
to each type of wheel.
If new wheels are fi tted,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Note: make a note of the code
number on the head of the security
bolt socket. This will enable you to
obtain a replacement security bolt
socket from a CITROËN dealership.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHANGING A BULB
The headlamps are fi tted
with polycarbonate glass
with a protective 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 keep the lance directed
towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective 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-ul-
traviolet (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.
