The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
the  floor.
According
  to   country,   you   will   have   either   a  
"

space   saver"   spare   wheel   or   a   temporary  
p

uncture   repair   kit.
For access to it, refer to the "Access to the
tools"
 s

ection.
Access to the spare wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"
type spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels,   it   is   normal   to   notice,   when  
t

ightening   the   bolts   on   fitting,   that   the  
w

ashers   do   not   come   into   contact   with  
t

he   "space-saver"   type   spare   wheel.  
T

he wheel is secured by the conical
contact
  sur face   of   each   bolt.
Taking out the wheel
F Unscrew  the   yellow   central   bolt.
F  R aise   the   spare   wheel   towards   you   from  
t

he   rear.
F
 
T

"space-saver"
  wheel;   however   the   boot  
f

loor   will   not   then   be   flat.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not   block   traffic:   the   ground   must   be  
l

evel,   stable   and   not   slippery.
Apply
  the   parking   brake,   switch   off   the  
i

gnition   and   engage   first   gear*   to   lock  
t

he   wheels.
If
  necessary,   place   a   chock   under   the  
w

heel   diagonally   opposite   the   wheel   to  
be c

hanged.
It
  is   imperative   that   you   ensure   that   the  
o

ccupants   get   out   of   the   vehicle   and  
w

ait   where   they   are   safe.
Never
  go   underneath   a   vehicle   raised

  the   tightening   of   the   bolts   and   the  
p

ressure   of   the   spare   wheel   checked  
b

y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   without   delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.
Do
  not   drive   with   more   than   one  
t

emporary-use   spare   wheel   fitted   to   the

RACING tyres
driving in winter conditions
The 215/40 R18 89W tyres fitted as standard are   not   suitable   for   severe   winter   conditions.  
W

e   recommend   that   you   use   suitable   winter  
t

yres   during   periods   of   very   cold   weather.
If you want to fit snow chains or
snow
  socks   to   your   vehicle,   contact  
a C

ITROËN dealer for advice on the
tyres
  recommended   for   your   vehicle.

207
DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
It is strongly recommended that before you   leave,   you   practise   fitting   the   snow  
c

hains   on   a   level   and   dry   sur face.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he   snow   chains   must   be   fitted   only  
t

o   the   front   wheels.   They   must   never  
b

e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take
  account   of   the   legislation   in   force  
i

n your country on the use of snow
chains
  and   the   maximum   running  
s

peed
 a
uthorised.
Avoid
  driving   with   snow   chains   on  
r

oads that have been cleared of snow,
to
  avoid   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres  
a

nd   the   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle  
i

s   fitted   with   alloy   wheels,   check   that  
n

o   part   of   the   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in  
c

ontact   with   the   wheel   rim.
Advice on installation
F If  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a   journey,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face   on   the   side   of   the  r
oad.
F
