Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear * to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P
warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
Depending on equipment, remove the cover from from each of bolts using the tool 3
or remove
the hub cap using tool 4
.
Fit the security socket 5
on the wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).
Slacken the other bolts (no more than a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1
only.
*
Position R
for an electronic gearbox; P
for an
automatic gearbox.
207Practical information
Place the jack 2
in contact with one of the
two front A
or rear B
locations provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
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.
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.
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.
