Fitting a wheel
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting, it isnormal to notice that the washers do not come into contact with the spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical surface of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover. Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checkedby 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 bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.

Mats Removable carpet protection.
When
fitting the mat for the first time, on the
driver's side use only the fixings provided in the
wallet attached.
The other mats are simply placed on the carpet.
Fitting
Removal
Refitting
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:
- only use mats which are suited tothe fixings already present in thevehicle; these fixings must be used,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere with access tothe pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise control / speed limiter.
To remove the mat on the driver's side: ) move the seat as far back as possible, )
unclip the fixings, )
remove the mat.
T
o refit the mat on the driver's side: )position the mat correctly, )refit the fixings by pressing, )check that the mat is secured correctly.

Safety
Under-infl ation detection
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous condition (high loading, high speed, long journey).
The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label. See the "Identification markings" section. Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds). Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving. It compares the information given by the four wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed . The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.

Safety
Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the use of the vehicle and in line with the recommendations on the tyre pressure label. The under-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message.
Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do s o .
If you have a compressor (such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit), check the pressures of the four tyres when cold. If it is not possible to carry out this check straight away, drive carefully at reduced speed. o r In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment),
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels. A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's side, gives a reminder of this.

Safety
Reinitialisation of the system is done using the button in the glove box, with the ignition onand the vehicle stationary . vehicle stationary . vehicle stationary
Open the glove box. Make a long press on this button. Reinitialisation is confirmed by an low-pitched audible signal.
A high-pitched audible signal indicates that the reinitialisation has not been done. The audible signal is accompanied by a message, if your vehicle has a display screen.
The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the s y s t e m .
Operating fault
The under-inflation alert is only dependable if the system has been reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
Before doing anything to the system, the pressures of the four tyres must be checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by illumination of the Service warning lamp indicates a fault with the system. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the tyres is no longer assured. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
