Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

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
The wheel with the punctured tyre cannot
be fitted under the vehicle. It must be
stowed flat on the boot floor; use a cover
to protect the inside of the boot.
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
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F S crew in the bolts fully by hand.
F
P
re-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security
socket

driving advice
distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I
f the warning lamp and
the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as
possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
