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.

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 on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road sur face. It is recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry 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
If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the road. Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle. Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h). Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/60 R16 9 mm 225/50 R17
235/45 R18 not chainable 235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Access to the towing eye
It is stowed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to it: open the boot, remove the towing eye, located in the tool box.
Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed
Never recover the vehicle by towing it with the wheels on the ground (neither the front wheels, nor the rear wheels), as there is a risk of damage to the transmission. Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector in position N , then switch off the hybrid system ( Ready lamp off). Always call on a professional for the recovery of your vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.
Use the towing eyes only to lash the vehicle when recovering it on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.

Identifi cation markings Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper support.
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.
The rear quarter light cannot be etched as it is made of polycarbonate material.
B. Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on the windscreen lower cross member. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label affixed to the door aperture, on the passenger's side.
D. Tyre/paint label. This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information: - the tyre inflation pressures with and without load, - the tyre sizes, - the inflation pressure of the spare wheel, - the paint colour code.
The use of snow chains is only authorised on the front wheels. The selector must be in 4WD mode.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.
