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, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* to block
the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamp in the instrument panel comes on
fixed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Ensure that the jack is correctly
positioned at one of the vehicle's
jacking points.
Incorrect use of the jack could cause
the vehicle to drop.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first
remove the wheel trim using the
wheelbrace 1 by pulling at the valve
aperture.
When refitting the wheel , refit the
wheel trim, starting by placing its
cut-out in line with the valve and then
pressing around its edge with the palm
of your hand.
Do not use a jack other than the one
supplied by the manufacturer.
* Position P for an automatic gearbox. F

F Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the
front
A or rear B jacking point provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed. F
E xtend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B used; the
vehicle’s contact sur face at A or B must engage with the central part of the head of the jack.
F

R
aise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the
spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack might slip or drop - Risk of
injury!
Take care to position the jack only at one of the vehicle’s jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the contact sur face of the vehicle’s jacking point is centred on the head of the jack.
Other wise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or that the jack might drop - Risk of injury!

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.
