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
F Depending on equipment, remove the protective cover from from each of bolts using the tool 3
or remove the wheel trim using tool 4 .
F
Fi
t the security socket 5 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).
F
Sl
acken the other bolts (no more than a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.
* Position P for an automatic gearbox.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery

First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).

F Op erate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If t

engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.

For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
if y
ou use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-
if t
he vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
charging the battery using
a b attery charger
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop, who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.

disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.

F
Pr

correctly on the battery post.
F
Lo
ck the clamp by lowering the lever A .
Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-
th
e remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
th
e electric blind(s),
-
th
e electric windows
-
th
e date and time,
-
