Taking out the wheel
)Unscrew the yellow central bolt. )Raise the spare wheel towards you from
the rear. )Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the wheel back in place
)
Put the wheel back in its housing. )
Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a few
turns then put it in place in the centre of the
wheel. ) Tighten fully until the central bolt clicks to
retain the wheel correctl
y.
)Put the box back in place in the centre of
the wheel and clip it. )Put the polystyrene storage box back inplace. )Refit the boot floor carpet by lightly
folding it in two (refer to the section
"Fittings - § Storage box").
On vehicles equipped with a "space-saver" type spare wheel, the puncturedwheel cannot be stowed in place of the "space-saver" wheel.

Towing a trailer
Driving advice
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
T
owbar suitable for the attachment of atrailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with
additional lighting and signalling.
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.We recommend the use of genuineCITROËN towbars and their harnessesthat have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËNdealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Drivin
g with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care. Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.
R
efer to the "Technical data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will bedeactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce 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.
) If the warning lamp and the STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit th
e towed load.
