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
only.
