Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block 
traffic: the ground must be level, stable 
and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first 
gear then switch off the ignition to block 
the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox , place the 
gear selector at position P then switch off 
the ignition to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox , place the 
gear selector at position D then switch off 
the ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that 
the warning lamp is on in the instrument 
panel.
The passengers must get out of the 
vehicle and wait in safety.
Make sure that the jack is correctly 
positioned at one of the vehicle's jacking 
points.
Incorrect use of the jack could cause the 
vehicle to drop.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised 
using a jack; use an axle stand. Wheel with hub cap
When refitting the wheel
, after tightening 
the wheel bolts, refit the hub cap, 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.
List of operations
F If your vehicle has steel wheels, remove the  hub cap.
F
 
I
 f your vehicle has alloy wheels, remove the 
bolt cover(s) using tool 3 .
F
 
I
 f your vehicle has security wheel bolts, fit 
security bolt socket 5 to wheelbrace 1 to 
slacken the security bolt.
F
 
L
 oosen the other bolts using wheelbrace 1 
o n l y. 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 strictly 
at one of 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!
F  P lace the base plate of the jack 2 on the 
ground and ensure that it is directly below 
the front A or rear B jacking point provided 
on the chassis, whichever is closest to the 
wheel to be changed.

F Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B , 
whichever is used; the contact area A or B 
on the vehicle must be correctly inserted 
into the central part of the head of the jack.
F
 
L
 ift the vehicle until there is a sufficient 
space between the wheel and the ground 
to mount the spare (not punctured) wheel 
easily. Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under 
the floor, in the standard spare wheel 
housing.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the 
trim from the middle of the wheel so that 
the fastening device (nut and bolt) can be 
put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare 
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be 
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed 
in the boot; use a cover to protect the 
inside of the boot.
Fitting a wheel
F Remove the bolts and keep them in a clean 
place.
F
 
R
 emove the wheel.
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. 
In the event of a breakdown

After changing a wheel
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when 
driving with the "space-saver" type spare 
wheel fitted.
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 wheel checked. After 
inspection, the technician will let you know 
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be 
replaced.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate 
lenses with a protective coating:
F
 
d
 o not clean them using a dr y or 
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent 
or solvent product,
F
 
u
 se a sponge and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product,
F
 
w
 hen using a high pressure washer 
on persistent marks, do not keep the 
lance directed towards the 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 lamp has 
been switched off for several minutes – 
Risk of serious burns!
F
 
D
 o 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.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new 
bulb with the same type and specification.
