Fitting a 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
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F S crew in the bolts by hand to the stop.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a
few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on
roads that have been cleared of snow,
to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres
and the road sur face. If your vehicle
is fitted with alloy wheels, check that
no part of the chain or its fixings is in
contact with the wheel rim.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running
speed authorised.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.215/60 R16 9 mm

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
