the vehicle on level, stable, non-

slippery ground.

 If necessary, chock the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel to

be changed.

 It is imperative that you ensure

that the occupants get out of

the vehicle and wait in a safe

location.

3. Place the jack 2 in contact

with one of the four locations A

provided on the underbody, the

one closest to the wheel to be

changed.

in contact with the ground. Ensure

that the centreline of the jack base

is directly below the location A

used.

5. Lift the vehicle.

Your vehicle's electrical cir-

cuit is designed to operate

with standard or optional

equipment.

Before installing other electrical

equipment or accessories on your

vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Some electrical accessories or the

way in which they are ﬁtted may

have an adverse effect on the opera-

tion of your vehicle (audio circuits,

control circuit and electrical charging

circuit).

Engine compartment fusebox

 Unclip the cover, pressing on the

When you have ﬁnished, close the

cover very carefully.

CITROËN will not accept any re-

sponsibility for the costs incurred in

repairing your vehicle or for the mal-

functions resulting from the installa-

tion of auxiliary accessories which

were not supplied or recommended

by CITROËN and which were not in-

stalled in accordance with its instruc-

tions, in particular in the case of any

equipment the consumption of which

exceeds 10 milliamps.

caught under the pedals:

-

only use mats suited to the ﬁxings

already present in the vehicle. It

is imperative that these ﬁxings be

used.

the ﬁtting of 100 mm diameter speak-

ers on the dashboard.

As accessories, you can ﬁt 165 mm

diameter speakers on the rear shelf.

Vehicles fitted with a manual

gearbox

General

recommendations

In the case of vehicles ﬁtted with a

manual gearbox, the gear lever must

be in the neutral position.

Failure to observe this special con-

dition may result in damage to cer-

tain braking components and the

absence of braking assistance the

next time the engine is started.

Observe the legislation in

force in your country.

Ensure that the weight of the towing

vehicle is higher than that of the towed

vehicle.

The driver must stay at the wheel of

the towed vehicle.

Driving on motorways and fast roads

is prohibited when towing.

When towing a vehicle with all four

wheels on the ground, always use an

approved towing bar; rope and straps

are prohibited.

When towing a vehicle with the en-

gine off, there is no longer any power

assistance for braking or steering.

In the following cases, you must al-

ways call on a professional recovery

service:

Place the gear lever in posi-

tion N for the "SensoDrive"

gearbox.

TOWING THE VEHICLE

Your vehicle can only be towed at

the front.

FITTING ROOF BARS

When ﬁtting transverse roof bars,

use the accessories recommended

by CITROËN and follow the manu-

facturer's ﬁtting instructions.

Without lifting

The removable towing eye is stored

in the spare wheel, under the boot

carpet.

shop.

 Screw in the towing eye until it locks.

Lifting (2 wheels only

on the road)

Maximum weight authorised on

the bars, for a loading height not

exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle

carrier): 50 kg.

-

when it is not possible to put the

gearbox into neutral, unlock the

steering, or release the parking

brake,

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt

the speed of the vehicle to the pro-

ﬁle of the road to avoid damaging

the roof bars.

-

towing with only two wheels on

the ground,

where there is no approved towing

bar available...

Never use the radiator crossmember.

Towing with fours wheels on the road

must be carried out at very low speed

over a very short distance (in accor-

dance with the legislation in force).

In all other cases, your vehicle must

be transported on a trailer.

Please refer to national legis-

lation in order to comply with

the regulations concerning the

transportation of objects which

are longer than the vehicle.
