Stowing the wheel with
punctured tyre
The wheel with punctured tyre can be
stowed under the floor, in the housing
for the standard spare wheel.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
trim from the middle of the wheel so that
the fixing parts (nut and bolt) can be put
in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type
spare wheel, the wheel with punctured
tyre cannot be stowed under the floor. It
must be stowed in the boot; use a cover
to protect the inside of the boot.

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the 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 spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
sur face of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
When using a "space-saver" type of
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.
