Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear then switch off the ignition to block
the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox , place the
gear selector at position P then switch off
the ignition to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox , place the
gear selector at position D then switch off
the ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that
the warning lamp is on in the instrument
panel.
The passengers must get out of the
vehicle and wait in safety.
Make sure that the jack is correctly
positioned at one of the vehicle's jacking
points.
Incorrect use of the jack could cause the
vehicle to drop.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand. Wheel with hub cap
When refitting the wheel
, after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the hub cap, 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.
List of operations
F If your vehicle has steel wheels, remove the hub cap.
F

I
f your vehicle has alloy wheels, remove the
bolt cover(s) using tool 3 .
F

I
f your vehicle has security wheel bolts, fit
security bolt socket 5 to wheelbrace 1 to
slacken the security bolt.
F

L
oosen the other bolts using wheelbrace 1
o n l y. Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly
at one of jacking points, A or B
, under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!
F P lace the base plate of the jack 2 on the
ground and ensure that it is directly below
the front A or rear B jacking point provided
on the chassis, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.

In the event of a breakdown

160
F Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B ,
whichever is used; the contact area A or B
on the vehicle must be correctly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
F

L
ift the vehicle until there is a sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to mount the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily. Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the standard spare wheel
housing.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
trim from the middle of the wheel so that
the fastening device (nut and bolt) can be
put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a cover to protect the
inside of the boot.
Fitting a wheel
F Remove the bolts and keep them in a clean
place.
F

R
emove the 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 washers do not
come into contact with the "space-saver"
spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
In the event of a breakdown

161
After changing a wheel
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
driving with the "space-saver" type spare
wheel fitted.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured wheel checked. After
inspection, the technician will let you know
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.
