If your vehicle is fi tted with a spare wheel of a different size to those on the vehicle, you must not exceed 80 km/h (50 mp h) whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed, check with your CITROËN dealer that the wheel bolts are compatible with the new wheels.
Note: take care to note down the code number engrav ed on the head of the anti-theft bolt socket. This will enable you to obtain replacement anti-theft bolt sockets from a dealership.
Spare wheel
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a different spare wheel to those on the vehicle. When fi tting the spare wheel, it is normal to notice that the wheel bolt washers do not come into contact with the wheel rim. The spare wheel is secured by the conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, ensure that the wheel bolt contact surfaces are clean and in good condition.
Refi tting a wheel
1 Fit the wheel on the hub, using the centring guide. Make sure that the contact surface between the hub and the wheel is clean.
2 Screw in the bolts but do not fully tighten them.
3 Lower the jack and remove it.
4 Tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace.
5 Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
6 Return the ground clearance to the normal position. See chap-ter “Hydractive III+ Suspen-sion”.
7 Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-rect (see “Vehicle identifi ca-tion”) and have the balancing checked.
Wheel equipped with defl ation detection sensor
Such wheels have tyre pressure sensors. It is essential to have repairs carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-theft bolts
Each wheel is equipped with one anti-theft bolt.
To remove it
