Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away.
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

204
In the event of a breakdown
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle and may vary depending on
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.
The jack does not require any maintenance.
The jack meets European standards, as
defined in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/
EC.
Some parts of the jack such as the
screws and hinges could cause injury:
avoid touching them.
Carefully remove any traces of grease.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Scan the QR Code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.
Made up of a compressor and a sealant
cartridge,
it allows you to carry out a temporary
repair of the tyre so that you can drive to the
nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures located
on the tyre tread.
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of the compressor to the 12 V
power supply for long enough to repair a tyre
after a puncture.
Only the 12 V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used to power the
compressor.
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body
(e.g. nail, screw) which has penetrated
the tyre.
►

Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►


Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, high visibility
jacket, etc.) according to the legislation in force
in the country in which you are driving.
►


Switch the ignition off.
►


Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


► Connect the pipe from the bottle of sealant to
the valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten
firmly
.
►

Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
bottle of sealant.
►


Check that the compressor switch is in
position

"O".
►

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.
►

Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12

V socket.
► Affix the speed limit sticker .
The speed limit sticker must be affixed
inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in
temporary use.
►

Switch the ignition on.

206
In the event of a breakdown
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Spare wheel

Accessing the spare wheel
► Access to the spare wheel is from the rear .

► If the vehicle is fitted with a towbar, raise
the rear of the vehicle using the jack (must be
at jacking point B) to allow sufficient space to
remove the spare wheel.
Removing the spare wheel from the
carrier
► Depending on version, open the tailgate or
side-hinged doors.


► Access the carrier bolt, located on the rear
door sill.


► Slacken the bolt using the wheelbrace until
the carrier is low enough to allow the carrier
hook to be disengaged.


► Release the carrier from the hook and
place the spare wheel next to the wheel to be
changed.

207
In the event of a breakdown
8Putting the spare wheel back in 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.

209
In the event of a breakdown
8► If your vehicle is so equipped, tighten the
security bolt using the wheelbrace 5 equipped
with a security socket

only.
►

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.
