F Place  the   foot   of   the   jack   3   on   the   ground  a
nd   check   that   it   is   directly   below   the  
f

ront A or rear B   jacking   point   provided   on  
t

he   underbody,   whichever   is   closest   to   the  
w

heel   to   be   changed. F
 E xtend   the   jack   3   until   its   head   comes   into   contact   with   the   jacking   point   A or B   used;  t
he vehicle's   contact   sur face   A or B   must   engage   with   the   central   part   of   the   head   of   the   jack.
F
 
R
aise   the   vehicle   until   there   is   sufficient   space   between   the   wheel   and   the   ground   to   admit   the  
s

pare   (not   punctured)   wheel   easily.
Ensure
  that   the   jack   is   stable.   If   the  
g

round   is   slippery   or   loose,   the   jack  
m

ay   slip   or   drop   -   Risk   of   injury!

ehicle's   contact   sur face   is   centred   on  
t

he   head   of   the   jack.   Other wise   there   is  
a

  risk   of   damage   to   the   vehicle   and/or   of  
t

he   jack   dropping   -   Risk   of   injury!

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when   tightening   the   bolts   on   fitting,   it  
i

s   normal   to   notice   that   the   washers  
d

o   not   come   into   contact   with   the  
"

space-saver"   spare   wheel.   The   wheel  
i

s   secured   by   the   conical   sur face   of  
e

ach   bolt.
After changing a wheel
To correctly store the punctured wheel in   the   boot   (not in the location of the
space-saver wheel ),
  first   remove   the  
c

entral   cover.
When
  using   the   "space-saver"   type  
s

pare   wheel,   do   not   exceed   50   mph  
(

80 km/h).
Have
  the   tightening   of   the   bolts   and   the  
p

ressure   of   the   spare   wheel   checked  
b

y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   without   delay.
Have
  the   punctured   wheel   repaired  
a

nd   refitted   to   the   vehicle   as   soon   as

  driving   with   snow   chains   on   roads  
t

hat   have   been   cleared   of   snow,   to  
a

void   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres   and  
t

t

he   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in   contact   with  
t

he   wheel   rim.
It
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that
 
before
