173Safety
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to the "Identification markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system.
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted. If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

243Practical information
Changing a wheel
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare w heel using the tools provided with the vehicle.
The tools are installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to them:  open the boot,  raise the floor,  secure it by hooking its cord on the hook on the rear shelf suppor t,  with a standard size spare wheel, unclip and remove the box in the middle of the wheel containing the tools,
or  with a "space-saver" spare wheel; lift the wheel at the rear towards you for access to the storage box containing the tools.
Access to the tools
List of tools
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle. Do not use them for other purposes.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel , detach the trim first using the wheelbrace 1 pulling at the valve passage hole. When refitting the wheel , refit the trim star ting by placing its notch facing the valve and press around its edge with the palm of your hand.
3. "Bolt cover" tool.
For removing the bolt protectors (covers) on alloy wheels. 4. Socket for the security bolts (located in the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
1. Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and the wheel fixing bolts. 2. Jack with integral handle. For raising the vehicle.

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under the floor. Depending on version, the spare wheel may be a standard size steel or alloy wheel, or for some countries it is the "space saver" type. For access to the spare wheel, refer to the paragraph "Access to the tools" on the previous page.
Access to the spare wheel
Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must be repaired by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
Taking out the standard wheel
 Unscrew the yellow central bolt.  Raise the spare wheel towards you from
the rear.  Take the wheel out of the boot.

247Practical information
 Place the jack 2 in contact with one of the two front A or rear B locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.  Extend the jack 2 until its base plate is in contact with the ground. Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below the location A or B used.  Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
 Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.  Remove the wheel.

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting 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.
List of operations
 Put the wheel in place on the hub.  Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.
 Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4 .  Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" type spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired and replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.

281Technical data

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of yo ur vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near the engine mounting.
B. Vehicle identification number on the dashboard. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label. This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18 tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains. For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.
C. Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label affixed to the driver's centre pillar.
It bears the following information: - the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions, - the wheel rim and tyre sizes, - the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer, - the spare tyre inflation pressure, - the paint colour code.
