CHANGING A WHEEL
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel
for the spare wheel using the tools pro-
vided with the vehicle.
Access to the tools
The tools are installed in the boot under
the fl oor.
To gain access to them:
open the boot,
raise the fl oor,
secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the rear shelf support,
with a standard size spare wheel,
unclip and remove the box in the
middle of the wheel containing the
tools,
or
with a "space-saver" spare wheel;
lift the wheel at the rear towards you
for access to the storage box con-
taining the tools.
List of tools
All of these tools are specifi c to your
vehicle. Do not use them for other pur-
poses.
1.
Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and
the wheel fi xing bolts.
2.
Jack with integral handle.
For raising the vehicle.
3.
"Bolt cover" tool.
For removing the bolt protectors
(covers) on alloy wheels.
4.
Socket for the security bolts (lo-
cated in the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the
special "security" bolts.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel
, detach the trim fi rst using the wheelbrace 1
pulling at the valve passage hole.
When refi tting the wheel
, refi t the trim starting by placing its notch facing
the valve and press around its edge with the palm of your hand.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless
it has been programmed to au-
tomatic mode, switch off the ig-
nition and engage fi rst gear * to
lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning
lamps in the instrument panel
are on (not fl ashing).
The occupants must get out of
the vehicle and wait where they
are safe.
If necessary, place a chock un-
der the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
*
position R
for an electronic gearbox; P
for an automatic gearbox.
List of operations
Remove the chromed bolt cover from
each of the bolts using the tool 3
(according to equipment).
Fit the security socket 4
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the secu-
rity bolt.
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
Place the jack 2
in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
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.
Raise the vehicle until there is suffi -
cient 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.

Fitting a wheel
Fitting a steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with al-
loy wheels, when tightening the
bolts on fi tting it is normal to
notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel
or "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, fi rst 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
qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as soon
as possible.
List of operations
Put the wheel in place on the hub.
Screw in the bolts by hand to the
stop.
Pre-tighten the security bolt using
the wheelbrace 1
fi tted with the se-
curity socket 4
.
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
Lower the vehicle fully.
Fold the jack 2
and detach it.
Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1
fi tted with the security
socket 4
.
Tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
Refi t the chromed bolt covers on
each of the bolts (according to
equipment).
Store the tools in the box.
