Practical information

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "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
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical sur face of
each bolt.
After changing a wheel
The wheel with the punctured tyre cannot
be fitted under the vehicle. It must be
stowed flat on the boot floor; use a cover
to protect the inside of the boot.
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
refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.
