W h e n r e fi t t i n g t h e o r i g i n a l w h e e l , ensure that the wheel bolt contact surfaces are clean and in good condition.
WHEEL EQUIPPED WITH DEFLATION DETECTION SYSTEM
Such wheels have tyre pressure sensors. It is essential to have re-pairs carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
ANTI-THEFT BOLTS (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with one anti-theft bolt.
To remove it :
1. Remove the protector that is covering it by means of the tool 2 (for removing the chrome covers on alloy wheels).
2. Use the anti-theft socket 9with the handle.
DIMENSION OF THE SPARE WHEEL
If your spare wheel has dimen-sions different from those of the n o r m a l v e h i c l e w h e e l s ( i d e n t i fi e d by a label), it is imperative to use the spare wheel only temporarily, to drive with caution, not to exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) and to have the tyre repaired and the normal wheel r e fi t t e d a s s o o n a s p o s s i b l e .

This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures regularly.

The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is in the boot or undergoing re-pair. The spare wheel is not moni-tored by the alert system.
The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is dis-played, accompanied by a message and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown as ab-sent on the vehicle outline. If you have not changed a wheel, this in-formation indicates a malfunction-ing of the system.

This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures on a regular basis ( s e e “ V e h i c l e i d e n t i fi c a t i o n » ) , t o ensure that the vehicle behaves as it should and to avoid prema-ture wear on the tyres, especially when the vehicle is being subject-ed to heavy loads or driven at high speeds.
Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel.
