87PRACTICAL INFORMATION-
For your safety, always change
a wheel:
- on level, stable and non slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with fi rst or reverse gear engaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- making absolutely sure that the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location.
Never go underneath the vehicle
when it is raised using the jack only.
The jack and the tool kit are specifi c
to your vehicle. Do not use them for
other purposes.
Refitting the wheel
- After positioning the wheel, lightly
pre-tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace.
- Compress the jack and release it.
- Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
- Replace the trim, starting at the valve passage hole, and press it
on using the palm of the hand. Replacing the wheel in the
carrier
- Replace the chock
2 in the wheel.
- Replace the wheel in the carrier.
- Lift the wheel then the carrier and reposition the hook.
- Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt.
- Stow the wheelbrace 1 and the
jack.
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare tyre
checked as soon as possible by a
CITROËN dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre repaired and replace it on the vehicle as
soon as possible.

97PRACTICAL INFORMATION-
SNOW SCREEN *
The snow screen is installed on the
lower part of the front bumper to pre-
vent the accumulation of snow at the
radiator cooling fan.
Remove the snow screen:
- when the exterior temperature is higher than 10 °C,
- when towing,
- for speeds higher than 75 mph (120 km/h).
FITTING

 Offer up the snow screen facing
the front bumper.

 Put it in place positioning the lower
clips A in the bumper.

 Press the snow screen at each
upper clip B .
REMOVAL

 Press the two upper clips B and
pull the snow screen.
* As an accessory or according to country.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION98 - Without lifting
(four wheels on the ground)
You must always use a towbar. By lifting
(two wheels only on the ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle by
the wheels.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
From the front or the rear
Attach the towbar to the towing eye. Never use the radiator cross-
member.
When towing another vehicle,
it must freewheel.
Place the gearbox in "neutral".
Failure to observe this instruction may
result in damage to certain braking
components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine
is started again.

99PRACTICAL INFORMATION-
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle, in accordance with the man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be particu-
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude. Driving advice

Distribution of loads: Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without ex-
ceeding it.
Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.

Braking: Towing increases the braking
distance.

Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into account the in-
creased sensitivity to side wind.

Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning
permits the recovery of engine pow-
er and therefore an increase in the
towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
