After changing a wheel
To correctly store the punctured wheel in the boot ( not in the location of the space-saver wheel ), first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" type spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
