Accessing the spare wheel

The spare wheel is stored in the boot, under the
floor.
To access the spare wheel, first refer to the
Tool
kit
section.
The spare wheel is a ‘space-saver’ wheel.
Removing the spare wheel

► Slacken the central nut.
► Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).
►

Lift the spare wheel towards you from the
rear

.
►

T
ake the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the spare wheel back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be put under the boot floor.


► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
► Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
►

T
ighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Select mode
P on the automatic gearbox 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.

After changing a wheel
The punctured wheel cannot be stored in place
of the spare wheel. Place it in the boot.
With a "space-saver" type 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).
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.
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.
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.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!

172
In the event of a breakdown
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.

Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional towing service must be
called if:
–

Broken down on a motorway or main road.
–


Not possible to put
the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake.
–

Not possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running.
–


T

owing with only two wheels on the ground.
–

Four-wheel drive vehicle.
–


No approved towbar available.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Before any intervention, with the ignition
on, depress the brake pedal and select mode
N, then switch off the hybrid system (READY
indicator lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of
the vehicle on a flatbed lorry or trailer.
Use the towing eye only
to free the vehicle
if it is stuck, or to secure it for recovery on a
flatbed lorry or trailer.

Event data recorders
11Recording event data
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. These control units process data
received from the vehicle's sensors, for example,
or data they generate themselves or exchange
with each other. Some of these control units are
required for the correct operation of your vehicle,
some others assist you while driving (driving or
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the
specific data which is downloaded, stored
and transmitted to third parties and what it is
used for in your vehicle under the keyword
"Data protection". This information is directly
associated with the references for the functions
in question contained in the corresponding
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
Information about the state of the vehicle (e.g.
speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, wheel
rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). –


Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature,
rain sensor
, distance sensor).
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is
not stored for longer than one operating cycle
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The
control units often record this data (including the
vehicle's key). This function allows either the
temporary or permanent storage of information
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on
components, servicing requirements, as well as
events and technical errors.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the
data stored is as follows:
–
Operating state of system components (e.g.
filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge
status).
–

Faults and malfunctions in important system
components (e.g. lamps, brakes).
–

System reactions in specific driving situations
(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of
stability control and braking systems).
–

Information about events which have
damaged the vehicle.
–

For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles,
the traction battery charge level and the
estimated driving range.
In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary
to record data which would otherwise simply not
be stored.
When taking your vehicle in for servicing (e.g.
repairs, maintenance), the stored operating
data may be read along with the vehicle's identification number and used if necessary

.
The personnel working for the servicing network
(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties
(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read
the vehicle's data. This also applies to work
carried out under warranty and quality assurance
measures.
This data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical
state of the vehicle or its components and
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in
compliance with warranty obligations and for
quality improvement. This data, in particular the
information relating to stress on components,
technical events, operator errors and other
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the
operating data taken from the vehicle for product
recalls. This data may also be used to check the
customer's warranty and any claims made under
warranty.
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be
reset by an after-sales service company during
servicing or repair work, or at your request.
