for example), take care to use the jacking points provided, so as to avoiddamaging the high voltage cables.

Practical information

Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is suppor ted by a cable-driven carrier underneath the vehicle.
Ta k i ng out the wheel
)
Raise the floor to reveal the spare wheelcarrier drive nut.)
Turn this drive nut fully clockwise, using
the wheelbrace 1and the extension 8,
to unwind the carrier cable.
) Detach the wheel from the rear of the
vehicle. ) Remove the hook with its connectionplate to release the wheel, as shown in
the illustration.) Pull out the wheel.

Putting the wheel back in place
)Pass the hook with its connection plate into
the wheel, as illustrated.) Raise the wheel underneath the vehicle byturning the carrier drive nut anticlockwiseusing the wheelbrace 1and the extension 8
.

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does notblock traffic: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage firstgear *
to block the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamp and the Pwarning lamp in the parkingbrake control lever come on.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.

Fit the security socket 5
on the wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).)
Slacken the other bolts (no more than a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1
only.

)Place the jack 2 in contact with one of the
two front A or rear Blocations provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be chan
ged.
)Raise the vehicle until there is sufficientspace between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.)Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place. )Remove the wheel.

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.

For H7 type bulbs with lugs... take care to 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 the glass of the headlampsand rear lamps is normal; it disappearsafter the lamps have been on for afew minutes.


Risk of electrocution

Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must bereplaced by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition (Ready
lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine.

(xenon model)
) Remove the protective plastic cover by
pulling on the tab.) Remove the connector with the bulb bypressing on the lug at the bottom. )
Remove the bulb and change it.
For reassembly, carry out these operations in reverse order.
The headlamps are fitted withpolycarbonate glass with a protectivecoating:)do not clean them using a dryor abrasive cloth, nor with adetergent or solvent product,)use a sponge and soapy water, )when using a high pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keepthe lance directed towards thelamps or their edges for too long,so as not to damage their protectivecoating and seals.
)Do not touch the bulb directly withyour fingers, use lint-free cloths. Changing a bulb should only be doneafter the headlamp has been switched off for a few minutes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order not
to damage the headlamp. Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type andspecification.
Dipped beam headlamps(xenon model)

D1S xenon bulbs must be changedby a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop, as there is a risk of electrocution.
It is recommended that the D1S bulbsare changed at the same time when one of them fails.
