4. Procedure
- Place the foot of the jack in contact with the ground directly below the
jacking
point closest to the wheel to
be
changed.
-
Extend
the jack until its head
comes
into contact with the jacking
point used; the vehicle's contact
area
A must be engaged with the
head
of the jack.
-
Raise the vehicle until there is
sufficient
space between the wheel
and the ground, so that
(not punctured) spare wheel can be
easily
fitted.
-
Resume
and complete the
unscrewing
of the wheel bolts.
-
Remove
the bolts and remove the
wheel.
-
Remove
the
wheel

Loosen the wheel bolts and start
unscrewing
them. Ensure
that the jack is stable, the foot of
the jack must be in contact with the
ground,
and directly below the jacking
point
used.
If the ground is slippery or loose, the
jack
may slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Ensure
that the jack is positioned only
at
one of the jacking points under the
vehicle,
making sure that the vehicle's
contact surface is centred on the head
of
the jack.

FITTING THE WHEEL TRIM
The tyre valve must be centred in the wheel
trim cut-out.
This
position is essential for fitting the
wheel
trim correctly on the steel wheel.
(If
the valve is not correctly aligned with
the
cut-out, the anti-rotation system
will be in contact with the heads of the
wheel
bolts and risks being damaged
if
the user persists in fitting the wheel
trim
in this incorrect position). -
Ensure that all of the clips are
engaged except the last one
(opposite
the valve hole).
-
Strike
the wheel trim with the palm
of your hand, opposite the valve
in
the area of the last fixing clip
(always
in the direction of clipping).
-
Ensure that the outer edge of
the
wheel trim is not deformed or
pushed
into the wheel.
●
Correct
position for the edge of
the
wheel trim.
●
Incorrect
position for the edge of
the
wheel trim.
6. Refitting the repaired wheel
The wheel is refitted as described in step 5, not forgetting to refit the wheel
trim.
Refer
to the "Instruments and
controls" section of chapter 3,
"T
yre under-inflation detection"
part,
for recommendations after
changing
a wheel fitted with a tyre
under-inflation
detection sensor.
Refer
to the "Identification
markings"
section of chapter 9 to
locate
the tyre label.
The spare wheel is not designed
to
be used over long distances.
Have the tightening of the bolts
and
the tyre pressure checked by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
as soon as possible.
Have the original wheel repaired

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 driving wheels.
They
must
never be fitted to "space-
saver"
type spare wheels.

force in your country on the use
of
snow chains and the maximum
running
speed authorised.Advice on installation
F
If
you have to fit the chains during
a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface
on the side of the road.
F
Apply
the parking brake and
position
any wheel chocks to
