not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on (not
flashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.F

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is centred under the
contact area of the vehicle. Other wise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the jack dropping - Risk of injury! F
E xtend the jack 2 until its head comes into
contact with the jacking point A or B used;
the contact area A or B on the vehicle must
be engaged with the central part of the
head of the jack.
F

space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.

Fitting a wheel
Fitting a steel or "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 steel or "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.
List of operations
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F S crew in the bolts by hand to the stop.
F

P
re-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security
socket

wheelbrace 1 o n l y.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, first remove the central
c ove r.
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
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

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.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running
speed authorised.
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
215/55 R17
225/45 R18
225/40 R19
cannot be fitted with chains
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

Changing a bulb
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.Light-emitting diodes (LEd)
