spare wheel Citroen DS4 2012 1.G Owner's Manual

35
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference. Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres andrefit your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, whencold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engineoil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve theschedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.




When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel. Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

To remove the shelf: )unhook the two cords, )raise the shelf slightly, then remove it.
There are several options for storing the shelf:
- either upright behind the front seats,
- or flat at the base of the boot.
Rear parcel shelf
The hooks can be used to secure shoppingbags.
Hooks


Access to the storage box

An additional hook under the shelf is used to hold up the boot floor using its cord, to facilitate access to the tools and spare wheel or the temporarypuncture repair kit...

Use
)Extract the torch from its location pulling it upwards.)Press the switch, located on the back,
to switch the torch on or off. )Unfold the suppor t, located on the back,
to set down and raise the torch; for
example, when changing a wheel.



Storing
)
Put the torch back in place in its locationstarting with the lower part.
If you have forgotten to switch off the torch,
this switches it off automatically.
Storage box
)Raise the boot carpet for access to
the storage box.
This has areas for the storage a box of spare
bulbs, a first aid kit, two warning triangles...
It also contains the vehicle tools, the temporarypuncture repair kit...
It the torch is not engaged correctly, it may not charge and may not come onwhen the boot is opened.

177Safety

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 malfunction in the s
ystem.
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 aqualified 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 needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to the "Identificationmarkings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performanceof the vehicle is maintained andprevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly 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 thatused by the system.

This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when oneor more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

251Practical information














Changing a wheel
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare wheel 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 thetrim first using the wheelbrace 1pulling at the valve passage hole.When refitting the wheel
, refit the trim starting by placing its notch facing the valve and press around its edge withthe 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 theglove 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 bea standard size steel or alloy wheel, or for some countries it is the "space saver" type.
For access to the spare wheel, refer to theparagraph "Access to the tools" on the previouspage.
Access to the spare wheel
Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fitted with asensor. The punctured wheel mustbe repaired by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.



Ta k i ng 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.

255
Practical information
)Place the jack 2 in contact with one of thetwo front Aor rear B
locations provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
)Extend the jack 2until its base plate is in contact with the ground. Ensure that thecentreline of the jack base plate is directly below the location A
or Bused. )Raise the vehicle until there is sufficientspace 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 onfitting it is normal to notice that thewashers 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 1fitted with the security socket 4.)Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the centralcover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired andreplace it on the vehicle as soon aspossible.

291Technical data

















Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your 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 R18tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.For more information, contact a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop.

Low tyre pressures increase fuelconsumption.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month. C. Manufacturer's label
.The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying labelaffixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the
following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and ladenconditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by themanufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
