Fitting a 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 washersdo not come into contact with the "space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical surface of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To c o r r e c t ly store the punctured wheelin the boot ( not in the location of the space-saver wheel ), first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checkedby a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.

Snow chains


In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.


The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snowchains and the maximum running speedauthorised.


Avoid driving on roads that have beencleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is recommended that before you leave,you practise fitting the snow chains ona level and dry surface. If your vehicleis fitted with alloy wheels, check thatno par t of the chain or its fixings is incontact with the wheel rim.



Advice on installation
)
If you have to fit the chains during ajourney, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.)
Apply the parking brake and position anywheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle. ) Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.)
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph(50 km/h). )
Stop your vehicle and check that the snowchains are correctly tightened. Use onl
y the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/60 R16

For H7 type bulbs with lugs... take careto observe their correct installationso as to ensure the best lighting performance.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal surface of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
