PRACTICAL INFORMATION
   
Wheel for temporary use 
  If your vehicle is equipped with a 
spare wheel for temporary use only, 
when fi  tting this it is normal to observe 
that the wheel bolts do not come to 
bear directly on the wheel rim. 
  The spare wheel is secured by the 
conical section of each wheel bolt. 
  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 
  These wheels have tyre pressure 
sensors. It is essential to have repairs 
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 
country of sale). 
  To remove it: 
   
 
 ) 
  remove the protector that is cov-
ering it by means of the tool for 
removing the chrome covers  2 
. 
   
 ) 
 use the security bolt socket  6 
 
with the wheelbrace  4 
.  
 
 
 
Dimension of the spare 
wheel 
  If your spare wheel has dimensions 
different from those of the normal ve-
hicle wheels (identifi ed by a label), 
you must use the spare wheel only 
temporarily, drive with caution, not 
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) and have 
the tyre repaired and the normal 
wheel refi tted as soon as possible.  
 
 
Tyre pressures 
 
These are indicated on the label 
on the right-hand front door pil-
lar (see section "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. 
  Note: make a note of the code 
number on the head of the security 
bolt socket. This will enable you to 
obtain a replacement security bolt 
socket from a CITROËN dealership.
