PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolt contact surfac-
es are clean and in good condition.
Fitting a wheel
)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
)
Lower the jack and remove it.
)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
)
Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect and have the balancing
checked.
Under-inflation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:
)
Remove the protector using tool 3
.
)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.
If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes
with radio-CD hands-free kit,
-
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes
with the MyWay audio-navigation
system,
- you can complete your call with
the NaviDrive system.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-matically next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the en-
gine was left running. However, this
time will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
TOWING THE VEHICLE

The towing eye is installed in the
jack box placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:
)

dition could result in damage to
certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
the next time the engine is started.
In the event of a fault or malfunc-
tion with the electronic gearbox
system, the vehicle may be immo-
bilised with a gear engaged. In this
case the front of the vehicle must
be lifted for towing.
When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a towing
bar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.
