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.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.
