In the event of a breakdown
8Putting the spare wheel back in the 
carrier
 
 
► Position the wheel facing the carrier.
►  Progressively return the wheel to the carrier 
by pushing alternately at left and right until it is 
clear of the hook fixing area.
►
 
Engage the carrier on the hook, then tighten 
the bolt using the wheelbrace handle until the 
bolt is tight.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does 
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level, 
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear 
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake, 
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch 
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode
 
P
  
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake, 
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch 
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps 
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
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.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove 
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture 
using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel 
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line 
with the valve and then pushing it into place 
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.
 
 
► With a steel wheel, remove the wheel trim 
using tool  7
.
►
 
With an alloy wheel, remove the cap from 
each of the bolts using tool  7
.
►
 
If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt 
socket 
8 to wheelbrace  5 to slacken the security 
bolt.
►
 
Slacken
  (without removing) the other wheel 
bolts using just wheelbrace  5.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel,  first remove 
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture 
using the wheelbrace.
 
 
► Place the foot of the jack on the ground and 
ensure that it is directly below the  A
 or B jacking 
point provided on the underbody, whichever is 
closest to the wheel to be changed.

In the event of a breakdown
 
 
 
► Extend jack  6 until its head comes into 
contact with jacking point  A or B, whichever is 
used; the contact surface A or B of the vehicle 
must be correctly engaged with the central part 
of the head of the jack.
►
 
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient 
space between the wheel and the ground, to 
then easily fit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the 
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip 
or collapse.
Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly at 
one of the jacking points  A or B under the 
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's contact 
surface is correctly centred on the head of the 
jack. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to 
the vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing.
 
 
► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean 
place.

Fitting a steel spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the 
washers A do not make contact with the steel 
spare wheel. The wheel is held in place by 
the conical contact surface  B of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
With a non-standard spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions 
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control, 
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised 
speed of 50 mph (80
  km/h) or the maximum 
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one spare wheel of 
this type is prohibited.
The wheel trim from the replaced wheel must 
not be refitted.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts 
and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After 
inspection, the technician will advise you on 
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must 
be replaced.
Wheel with wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel 
trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the 
valve and then pushing the trim into place all 
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on  this label.
For more information on  Identification 
markings, particularly this label, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), misting on the 
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps 
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear 
after the lamps have been on for a few 
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate  lenses with a protective coating:
–
 
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive 
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent 
products.
–
 
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product.
–
 
When using a high-pressure washer on 
persistent marks, do not keep the lance 
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or 
their edges for too long, so as not to damage 
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with 
the ignition off and after the headlamp / 
lamp has been switched off for several 
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your 
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet 
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the 
headlamp.
