PRACTICAL INFORMATION












Removing a wheel



)
Park the vehicle on level, stable
and non-slippery ground. Apply
the parking brake (a message
and a warning lamp appear on
the instrument panel).
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on the slope (posi-
tion P
if an automatic gearbox,
D
or R
if a 6-speed electronic
gearbox).

)
Use a chock to secure the vehi-
cle more safely. Place the chock
9
in front of the wheel that is op-
posite the wheel affected.
)
Detach the trim using the remov-
ing tool 4
, pulling in the area of
the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels,
insert the trim removing tool 1

into the recess in the central trim
and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels
that have visible bolts, remove
the chrome covers using the re-
moving tool 2
.
)
Slacken the wheel bolts. For ve-
hicles with alloy wheels, undo
the security bolts using the secu-
rity socket 6
.

)
Position the jack under the vehi-
cle, at the jacking point A
closest
to the wheel to be changed.

)
Unwind the jack 5
until its brack-
et is in contact with the ground.
Make sure that the jack is verti-
cal under the jacking point used.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Temporary use spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use only,
when fi tting this it is normal to ob-
serve that the wheel bolts do not
come to bear directly on the wheel
rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the
conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s
shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolts and wash-
ers are clean and in good condition.


Fitting a wheel



)
Position the wheel with the aid of
the centring guide 3
.

)
Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then
remove the centring guide 3
.
Position the 4 th bolt.

)
Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, us-
ing the wheelbrace 4
.

)

Retract the jack 5
and disengage it.


)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace 4
.

)
Ensure that the tyre pressure is
correct.

Under-infl ation detection

Wheels with under-infl ation detection
have tyre pressure sensors. Have repairs
to them carried out by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. The spare wheel
does not have a sensor.



Security bolts (alloy wheels)

Each wheel may be equipped with
one security bolt (depending on the
country of sale).
To remove it:


)
remove its protective cover us-
ing of the tool for removing the
chrome covers 2
.

)
use the security bolt socket 6

with the wheelbrace 4
.



Spare wheel dimensions

If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the standard
vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a la-
bel), it is imperative to use the spare
wheel only temporarily, to drive
with caution, not to exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) and to have the tyre re-
paired and the standard wheel refi t-
ted as soon as possible.


Tyre pressures

These are indicated on the label
on the front left-hand door pillar
(see "Technical Data - Identifi cation
markings").
The wheel bolts are specifi c
to each type of wheel.
If new wheels are fi tted, check with
your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop that the wheel bolts are
compatible with the new wheels.
Make a note of the code number on
the head of the security bolt sock-
et. This will enable you to obtain a
replacement security bolt socket
from your dealer.
