pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

Fitting snow tyres
If you fit your vehicle with snow tyres
fitted on steel rims, it is essential to use
special bolts available from CITROËN
dealers or a qualified workshop.
If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.
