PRACTICAL INFORMATION
)
Connect the compressor's elec-
tric plug to the vehicle's 12 V
socket again.
)
Start the vehicle again and leave

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
Removing a wheel
)
Park the vehicle on stable, fi rm
ground that is not slippery. apply
the parking brake.
)
If your vehicle is equipped with
"Hydractive III+" suspension,
with the engine running at idle,
adjust the ground clearance to
its maximum height.
)
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on any slope (for a
vehicle with automatic gearbox,
select position P
).
)
If your vehicle is fi tted with
"Hydractive III+" suspension,
position the chock, whichever di-
rection the gradient may be in, in
front of the front wheel diametri-
cally opposite to the one to be
replaced.
)
Position the jack at one of the four
jacking-points provided on the un-
derbody close to the wheels, then
use the wheelbrace to unwind the
jack until it reaches the ground.
)
Remove the protector from each
bolt using tool 3
.
)
Slacken the wheel bolts.
Before positioning the jack:
)
Always adjust the vehicle’s
ground clearance to the "maxi-
mum height" position and re-
tain this adjustment for as long
as the jack is under the vehicle
(do not use the hydraulic ad-
justments),
)
Immobilise your vehicle on hor-
izontal, stable and non-slippery
ground,
)
Ensure that any passengers
have left the vehicle and are in
a safe place .
Never get underneath the vehicle if
it is supported only by the jack.
The jack and all of the tools are
specifi c to your vehicle. Do not use
them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired

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.
