
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.

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.



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.

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.

209Practical information


Lower the vehicle fully.


Fold the jack 2
and detach it.

Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1
fitted with the security
socket 5
.


Tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.


Refit the bolt covers on each of the bolts or
the hub cap (depending on equipment).


Store the tools in the box.

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.

211Practical information











Changing a bulb


Front lamps
























Model with xenon headlamps



1.

Main beam headlamps (H1-35W).

2. Directional dipped / directional
headlamps

(D1S-35W).

3. Daytime running lamps / sidelamps
(light emitting diodes - LEDs).

4. Direction indicators (HY21-21W).

5. Directional foglamps
(H11).




























Model with halogen headlamps



1.

Main beam headlamps (H1- 55W).

2. Dipped beam headlamps (H7- 55W).

3. Daytime running lamps/sidelamps
(Light emitting diodes - LEDs).

4. Direction indicators (HY21-21W).

5. Directional foglamps
(H11).
For H7 type bulbs with lugs... take care
to obser ve their correct installation so as
to ensure the best lighting per formance.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.



Risk of electrocution

Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be
replaced by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Main beam headlamps
(xenon model)



Remove the protective plastic cover by
pulling on the tab.


Remove the connector with the bulb by
pressing on the lug at the bottom.


Remove the bulb and change it.
For reassembly, carry out these operations in
reverse order.

The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:



do not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,



use a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,


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.
Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for a few minutes (risk of serious
burns).



Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.










Dipped beam headlamps
(xenon model)
D1S xenon bulbs must be changed
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, as there is a risk of
electrocution.
It is recommended that the D1S bulbs
are changed at the same time when
one of them fails.
