In the event of a breakdown

200
Made up of a compressor and a sealant
c artridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a
tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a
tyre after a puncture
repair.
Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.

e xplanatory videos.
Procedure for changing a


damaged wheel with
the spare wheel using the tools provided with
the vehicle.
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
t h e f l o o r.
For access to the spare wheel, first refer to
section on the Tool kit .
Depending on version, the spare wheel is
a
standard size steel or alloy wheel.
For some countries of sale, it is the "space
saver" type.
Taking out the wheel
F Slacken the central nut.
F R emove the fastening device (nut and bolt).
F

L
ift the spare wheel towards you from the
r e a r.
F

T
ake the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the wheel back in place
F Put the wheel back in place in its housing.
F S lacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.If there is no wheel in the well, the
fastening device (nut and bolt) cannot be
refitted.
Removing a wheel
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel
, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve
aperture using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel
trim, 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.
F

P
osition the fastening device (nut and bolt)
in the middle of the wheel.
F

T
ighten the central nut to retain the wheel
c o r r e c t l y.
F

S
tore the tool box in the middle of the wheel
and clip it in place.

204
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with a manual
gearbox, engage first gear so as to lock
the wheels.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with an
automatic gearbox, select mode P so as to
lock the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a
chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Never go underneath a
vehicle raised
using a
jack; use an axle stand. F

T
o remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
F

F
it security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to
slacken the security bolt.
F

S
lacken the other bolts using wheelbrace
5
o n l y.F

P
lace the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A
or rear B jacking point on the underbody,
whichever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
In the event of a breakdown

205
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or drop – risk of injury!
Position the jack strictly at one of the
jacking points, A or B, under the vehicle,
ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the
vehicle. Other wise, there is a
risk of
damage to the vehicle and/or the jack
collapsing – risk of injury!
Fitting a wheel
F Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
F

E
xtend jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B ; contact
area A or B on the vehicle must be properly
inserted into the central part of the head of
the jack.
F
Ra
ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily. F
R
emove the wheel.
Fitting a steel or "
space-saver " spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on refitting it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical contact of each bolt. F
P
ut the wheel in place on the hub.
F
S
crew in the bolts by hand as far as
possible.
F
P
re-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 fitted with security socket 2
.
F
P
re-tighten the other bolts using wheelbrace
5 o n l y.
F
L
ower the vehicle again fully.
F F old jack 6 and detach it.

In the event of a breakdown

206
After changing a wheel
Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel. With a 'space-saver' type spare wheel
Driving with more than one 'space-saver'
type spare wheel is prohibited.
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 tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced.
F

T
ighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 fitted with security socket 2
.
F
T
ighten the other bolts using wheelbrace
5 o n l y.
F
R
efit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).
F
S
tore the tools. The following is recommended:
-
d
eactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise
control, etc.), as indicated on the label
attached to the wheel,
-
d
o not exceed the maximum
authorised speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Changing a
bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a
protective coating:
F

d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a


bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a
lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a
failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification.
In the event of a breakdown

207
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.Front lamps

Rapid flashing of a direction indicator
l amp (left or right) indicates that one of
the bulbs on the corresponding side has
failed.

direction indicators, must be replaced
by bulbs with identical colour and
specifications.
