wheel of a different size to those on the
vehicle, you must not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specific to the type
of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer or a

Changing a fuse
The 2 fuseboxes are located below the dashboard and under the bonnet.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, you must:
- ascertain the cause of the fault and have it
remedied,
- switch off all electrical consumers,
- park the vehicle and switch off the ignition,
- identify the failed fuse using the allocation
tables and diagrams presented on the
following pages. Good
Failed
Tw e e z e r
If the fault recurs soon after replacing the
fuse, have the electrical system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. When replacing a fuse, it is essential to:
- use the special tweezer, located on the
cover close to the fusebox, to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament,
- always replace a failed fuse with one of
equivalent rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause a malfunction
(risk of fire). The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below may
cause a serious malfunction on your
vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.CITR
oËn will not accept any
responsibility for the costs incurred
in repairing your vehicle or for the
malfunctions resulting from the
installation of auxiliary accessories which
were not supplied or recommended by
CITR oËn and which were not installed
in accordance with its instructions, in
particular where the current consumption
of all the the additional equipment
connected exceeds 10 milliamps.Installation of electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a CITR oËn dealer or a

Roof bars
The design of your vehicle requires the use
of roof bars that are tested and approved by
CITROËN, for your safety and to avoid damage
to the roof and tailgate.
Regardless of the type of loading equipment
to be transported on the roof (bicycle carrier,
ski carrier...), it is imperative that you add
transverse roof bars. Any securing or lashing to
components other than the roof bars is strictly
prohibited.
Recommendations
F Distribute your load evenly, avoiding
overloading on one side.
F Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F a nchor the load securely and draw
attention to it if any part of it is
overhanging.
F Drive gently, as the vehicle will be more
liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle
stability may be altered).
F Remove the roof bars as soon as they are
no longer needed. Maximum load that can be distributed
on the roof bars (for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm; except bicycle
carrier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt your
speed to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations
concerning the transportation of objects
which are longer than the vehicle.
