Removing a wheel
* position P for the automatic gearbox
Parking the vehicle
Stop the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode; switch
off the ignition and put the vehicle into first
gear* so as to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp and
the P warning lamp in the parking brake
control lever come on.
For more safety, position the
chock
2 against the wheel opposite the one you
are replacing.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Do not use:
-
t
he jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle,
-
a j
ack other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer.
List of operationsF Place the foot of the jack 3 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.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at
one of the 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. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!

Fitting the "space-saver " 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 "space-saver"
spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
With a "space-saver " type spare wheel
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel 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. The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.

Identification markings
Different visible markings for the identification
and research of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN),
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the chassis near
the right-hand front wheel arch.
B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), on
the windscreen lower cross member.
The number is on a label, visible through the
windscreen. -
the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval number,
-
t he Vehicle Identification Number (VIN),
-

t
he maximum authorised weight (gross vehicle
weight),
-

t
he maximum authorised weight with trailer (gross
train weight),
-

t
he maximum weight on the front axle,
-

t
he maximum weight on the rear axle.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label on the middle door pillar, driver's
side, contains the following information:
-
t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-

t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-

t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-

t
he paint colour code. The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
C. Manufacturer's label.
This tamperproof label on the middle door
pillar, right or left-hand side, contains the
following information:
-

t

he name of the manufacturer, Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 31 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
