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 o n l y.

Towing a trailer

Fitting roof bars
Maximum authorised load evenly distributed on the roof bars, for a loading height not exceeding 40 cm (with the exception of bicycle carriers): 70 kg. If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof. Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.
When fitting transverse roof bars, take care to position them correctly: Use accessories recommended by CITROËN observing the manufacturer's recommendations and fitting instructions so as to avoid the risk of damaging the body (deformation, scratches, ...).
Remove the cap using an allen TM key. Put the bars into position then fit and tighten the securing screws.
