8Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear to
lock the wheels, apply the parking brake and
switch off the ignition.
Check for the fixed illumination of the parking
brake indicator lamps in the instrument panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.
Wheel nuts removing pattern

► Loosen the nuts on the wheel in diagonal
sequence. Do not remove wheel nuts.


► Slacken the bolts using the wheel wrench 3
only.


► Place the foot of jack 1 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.


► Extend jack 1 with the jack handle 2 and
wheel wrench 3 until its head comes into contact
with jacking point

A
or B; contact area A or B
on the vehicle must be properly inserted into the
central part of the head of the jack.

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily

MAINTENANCE
Necessity of maintenance
Your CITROËN vehicle has been manufactured using the latest technology
and under the strictest quality control standards. It is also designed t\
o
minimize maintenance requirements with longer service intervals to save \
you both time and money.
However, scheduled maintenance is necessary to ensure your CITROËN
vehicle operates properly and efficiently for the reasons listed below:
Lubricants:
Your CITROËN vehicle uses various kinds of oils and fluids, including
engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, battery fluid, and engine
coolant. These oils and fluids play very important roles, such as lubricating
and cooling the vehicle and preventing rust. Periodically they need to b\
e
properly refilled or replaced.
Rubber parts:
Hoses, belts and boots use rubber parts, which are bound to crack when
worn out. They need to be replaced with new ones if they should wear out.
Normal deterioration
Vehicles are equipped with many parts for which it is impossible to avoid\

normal wear and tear. These parts include: tires, brake pads, clutch
disc, etc. They are indispensable for basic vehicle functions and must be
replaced regularly.
Maintenance services at CITROËN Authorised Dealers
A CITROËN Authorised Dealer has factory-trained technicians and genuine
CITROËN parts to service your vehicle properly. For expert advice and
quality service, visit a CITROËN Authorised Dealer.
Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient servicing may result in operational
problems with your vehicle that could lead to vehicle damage, an acciden\
t,
or personal injury.
We appreciate your understanding of the importance of these instructions,\

and we look forward to servicing your vehicle at CITROËN Authorised
Dealers.Failure to perform scheduled maintenance may result in
reduced vehicle performance or possible breakdowns,
as well as exclusion from warranty coverage
