reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

" and adjust the pressure to the value
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To
deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

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.
