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.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
driving with the "space-saver" type
spare wheel fitted.
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.

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
Ap
ply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F
Fi
t the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
Mov
e off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
k
m/h).
F
St
op 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.

icle Identification Number (
vIN
)
under the bonnet.
Th
is number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper support. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.
B.
veh
icle identification Number (
vIN
) on
the windscreen lower cross member.
Th
is number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
c. Ma
nufacturer's label.

e VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the door aperture, on the
passenger's side.
d. Tyr

Th
is label is affixed to the centre pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:
-
th
e tyre inflation pressures, laden and
unladen,
-
th
e tyre sizes,
-
th
e inflation pressure of the spare wheel,
-
th
e paint colour code.
