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.
►
Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
► Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
►
Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace

equipped with a security socket
8
.
►
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace

Store the tools.
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.
