All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and can vary according to the level
of equipment.
Do not use them for any other purposes.
The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original
jack, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to obtain the correct
jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.Access to the spare wheel

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector to position P then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the gear
selector to position A then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that
the warning lamp is on in the instrument
panel.
The passengers must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.F
P
lace 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.
Do not use:
-
t

lifting the vehicle,
-
a j
ack other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer.

Ensure that the jack is positioned only
at one of jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head
of the jack. Other wise there is a risk of

The steel spare wheel does not have a
sensor.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Have the punctured wheel checked. After
inspection, the technician will let you know
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.
Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection , refer to the corresponding
section. Wheel with hub cap
When refitting the wheel
, refit the hub
cap starting by placing its notch facing the
valve and press around its edge with the
palm of your hand.
Fastening the steel 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
contact of each bolt.The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F
u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F
w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done after
the headlamp has been switched off for
several minutes (risk of serious burns).
F
D
o 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.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Types of bulb
Various types of bulb are fitted to your vehicle.
To remove them:

Halogen bulbs must be replaced with the
lamps having been off for a few minutes
(risk of severe burns). Do not touch the
bulb directly, use a lint-free cloth.
All glass bulb: pull gently as it is fitted by
pressure.
Bayonet bulb: press on the bulb then turn it
anti-clockwise. Halogen bulb: release the retaining spring from
its housing.
