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.
If necessary, place a chock against
the wheel opposite the wheel to be
changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.List of operations

E xtend the jack 2 until it comes into contact
with the jacking point A or B used; the
contact sur face at the jacking point A or B
must be correctly engaged with the central
part of the head of the jack.
Ensure that the jack is stable. 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 A or B under the vehicle,
making sure that the vehicle's contact sur face is centred on the head of the jack. Other wise
there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk of injury!
Practical information

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.

Practical information

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.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road 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.
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 cannot be fitted with
snow chains
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

For bulbs with lugs (type H7...) take
care to observe their correct installation
so as to ensure the best lighting
performance. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S) must be replaced
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Light-emitting diodes (LEd)
For the replacement of this type of lamp, go to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
LED (light-emitting diode) replacement kits are
available from CITROËN dealers.
* LEDs: light-emitting diodes.
Practical information

The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,
so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals. Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for several minutes (risk of serious
burns).
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
daytime running lamps / sidelamps
For the replacement of this type of LED lamp
and lighting guides, contact a CITROËN dealer
