► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in

the middle of the wheel.

► Tighten the central nut suﬃciently to retain

the wheel correctly.

security bolt socket.

► Depending on version, put the tool box back

in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in

place.

When reﬁtting the wheel, reﬁt the wheel

trim, starting by placing its aperture in line

with the valve and then pushing it into place

all round its edge with the palm of your hand.

Wheel trims are identiﬁed by a "LEFT" mark

on the left-hand side and a "RIGHT" mark

on the right-hand side. Do not reverse these

when removing/reﬁtting the wheel.

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does

not obstruct traﬃc: the ground must be level,

stable and non-slippery.

► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and

ensure that it is directly below the front A or

rear B jacking point on the underbody, whichever

is closest to the wheel to be changed.

With a manual gearbox, engage ﬁrst gear

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,

unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch

oﬀ the ignition.

With an automatic gearbox, select mode P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,

unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch

oﬀ the ignition.

Check that the parking brake indicator lamps

on the instrument panel are on ﬁxed.

The occupants must get out of the vehicle

and wait where they are safe.

If necessary, place a chock under the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.

Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a

jack; use an axle stand.

► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of

the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).

► Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to

slacken the security bolt.

► Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into

contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A

or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted

into the central part of the head of the jack.

In the event of a breakdown

► Raise the vehicle until there is suﬃcient

space between the wheel and the ground to

easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.

Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type

spare wheel

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the

ground is slippery or loose, the jack may

slip or collapse - risk of injury!

Take care to position the jack strictly at

one of the jacking points A or B under the

vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is

centred under the contact area on the vehicle.

Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the

vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of

injury!

If the vehicle is ﬁtted with alloy wheels, the

washers A do not make contact with the steel

or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel

is held in place by the conical contact surface

B of each bolt.

► Lower the vehicle again fully.

► Fold jack 6 and remove it.

► Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

► Tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Reﬁt the bolt covers to each of the bolts

(depending on equipment).

► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

► Remove the wheel.

► Fit the wheel on the hub.

► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.

► Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2.

► Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 5 only.

► Store the tools.

In the event of a breakdown

lamp has been switched oﬀ for several

minutes - risk of serious burns!

Do not touch the bulb directly with your

ﬁngers; use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the

headlamp.

After changing a wheel

after the lamps have been on for a few

minutes.

With a "space-saver" type spare wheel

Never look too closely at the light beam

of LED technology lamps - risk of serious

eye injury!

Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb

of the same type and speciﬁcation. To avoid

lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

Deactivate certain driving aid functions

(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,

etc.).

Do not exceed the maximum authorised

speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).

Driving with more than one "space-saver"

type spare wheel is prohibited.

Reﬁtting the lamp units

Perform the operations in the reverse

order to dismantling.

The headlamps have polycarbonate

lenses with a protective coating:

– Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive

cloth, nor with detergent or solvent

products.

Light-emitting diode (LED)

headlamps and lamps

Depending on version, the aﬀected types of

headlamps/lamps are:

Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts

and its tyre pressure checked.

Have the punctured tyre examined. After

inspection, the technician will advise you on

whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must

be replaced.

– Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product.

– LED technology headlamps.

– Front foglamps.

– Daytime running lamps/sidelamps.

– Direction indicator side repeaters.

– Side spotlamps.

– Brake lamps.

– Third brake lamp.

– Rear sidelamps.

– When using a high-pressure washer on

persistent marks, do not keep the lance

directed towards the headlamps, lamps or

their edges for too long, so as not to damage

their protective coating and seals.

Changing a bulb

In some weather conditions (e.g. low

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

– Rear direction indicators

– Number plate lamps.

Changing a bulb must only be done with

the ignition oﬀ and after the headlamp /
