passage hole.

When refitting the wheel, refit the trim

starting by placing its notch facing the valve

and press around its edge with the palm of your

hand.

270

Practical information

Access to the spare wheel*

The spare wheel is supported by a carrier

underneath the vehicle.

Taking out the spare wheel

ꢀ

Fold the concertina board and put the left

hand third row seat into position (if your

vehicle has them).

Raise the pre-cut section of carpet to

expose the nut for operating the spare

wheel carrier.

Using the extension 6 fitted to the end of

the wheelbrace, turn the nut clockwise to

unwind the carrier cable until the spare

wheel reaches the ground. Unwind the

length needed for access to the wheel.

ꢀ

Detach the wheel/box assembly from the

rear of the vehicle.

Remove the hook with its connection plate

to release the wheel/box assembly, as

shown in the illustration.

Only a "space-saver" type of spare

wheel can be fitted under the vehicle.

7

ꢀ

Pull out the wheel to gain access to the

box.

* Depending on version.

271

Practical information

Stowing the tools

ꢀ

Return the tools to the box and stow the

box in the vehicle's boot.

ꢀ

Wind in the carrier by turning the

wheelbrace clockwise: once the cable is

fully wound in you should no longer feel

any resistance.

ꢀ

Stow the other tools in the locations

provided in the boot.

Putting the spare wheel back in

place

A puncture wheel from the vehicle

cannot be fitted under the vehicle. It

must be carried in the boot. Use a cover

to protect the boot.

ꢀ

Press the tongue, slide the box cover to the

centre and remove it for access to the other

tools (jack and wheel bolt head finisher

removal tool for alloy wheels).

ꢀ

Stow the corresponding tools in the box

and close the cover.

ꢀ

Position the tool box on the ground.

272

Practical information

ꢀ

Position the spare wheel on the box so that

the positioning indicator will be introduced

into the bolt hole in the middle of the box.

ꢀ

Pass the hook with its connection plate into

the wheel then the box, as illustrated.

ꢀ

Raise the wheel/box assembly underneath

the vehicle by turning the carrier drive nut

anticlockwise using the wheelbrace and

the extension.

Tighten fully. When the cable is fully wound

in, rotation of the nut no longer presents

any resistance.

7

Check that the wheel is horizontally flat

against the floor.

273

Practical information

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does not

block traffic: the ground must be level,

stable and not slippery.

Apply the parking brake unless it has

been programmed to automatic mode,

switch off the ignition and engage first

gear* to block the wheels.

Check that the braking warning lamp

and the P warning lamp in the parking

brake control lever come on.

List of operations

For greater safety, place a chock 2

against the wheel opposite to the one

being changed.

The occupants must get out of the

vehicle and wait where they are safe.

Never go underneath a vehicle raised

using a jack; use an axle stand.

ꢀ

Remove the finisher from from each of bolts using the tool 4 (depending on equipment).

Fit the security socket 5 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).

Slacken the other bolts (no more than a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 only.

* Position R for an electronic gearbox or P for

an automatic gearbox.

274

Practical information

ꢀ

Place the jack 3 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 3 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.

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 surface of

each bolt.

List of operations

After changing a wheel

ꢀ

Put the wheel in place on the hub.

Screw in the bolts fully by hand.

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security

socket 5 (depending on equipment).

Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1 only.

To correctly store the punctured wheel

in the boot (not in the location of the

space-saver wheel), 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 refitted to the vehicle as soon as

possible.

276

Practical information

ꢀ

Lower the vehicle fully.

Fold the jack 3 and detach it.

ꢀ

Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security

socket 5 (depending on equipment).

Tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1 only.

Refit the bolt covers on each of the bolts or

the hub cap (depending on equipment).

Store the tools in the box.

The tyre inflation pressures are given

on this label.
