2013.5 Citroen DS5 spare wheel

Fitting a wheel


Fitting the "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
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical sur face of
each bolt.


After changing a wheel

To correctly store the punctured wheel
in the boot ( not in the location of the
space-saver wheel
), 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 refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.

List of operations




Put the wheel in place on the hub.


Screw in the bolts fully by hand.


Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1
fitted with the security
socket 5
.


Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.

Snow chains


In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.

Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.


Advice on installation




If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.


Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.


Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.


Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).


Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.


Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road
sur face. It is recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face. If
your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.


Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/60 R16
9 mm
225/50 R17
235/45 R18
cannot be fitted with
snow chains
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.



A.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper support.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.

If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.

B.
Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member.

This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
C.
Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the door aperture, on the
passenger's side.

D.
Ty r e / p a i n t l a b e l .

This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the tyre sizes,

- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.


The rear quarter light cannot be etched
as it is made of polycarbonate material.
