Fitting a wheel
Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fitted with a spare wheel
which is different to those on the vehicle. When
fitting the spare wheel, it is normal to notice
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 refitting the original wheel, ensure that
the wheel bolt contact sur faces are clean and
in good condition. F

If your vehicle is fitted 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 specific to the type
of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer or a
qualified 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 replacement security
bolt socket from your dealer.

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.Avoid driving with snow chains on
roads that have been cleared of snow,
to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres
and the road 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.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.

provided by the manufacturer.
F

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

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
