PRACTICAL INFORMATION
)
Connect the compressor's elec-
tric plug to the vehicle's 12 V
socket again.
)
Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.
)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch A
in position "1"
; to defl ate:
switch A
in position "0"
and
press button B
), in accordance
with the vehicle's tyre pressure
label (located on the door aper-
ture on the left-hand side), then
remember to check that the leak
has been plugged correctly (no
further loss of pressure after
several miles [kilometres]).
)
Remove the compressor, then
store the whole kit.
)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the dis-
tance travelled to approximately
120 miles (200 km).
)
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop as soon as
possible to have the tyre repaired
or replaced by a technician. Take care as sealant cartridge
contains ethylene-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 an autho-
rised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new car-
tridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the tyre under-
infl ation warning lamp will remain on
after the wheel has been repaired
until the system is reinitialised by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good con-
dition.
Fitting a wheel
)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
)
Lower the jack and remove it.
)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
)
Ensure the tyre pressure is correct
and have the balancing checked.
Under-inflation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:
)
Remove the protector using tool 3
.
)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.
If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with
the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer
so that the heaviest items are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without ex-
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, re-
duce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine CITROËN towbar is used.
)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.
