1. Park the vehicle on stable, ﬁrm ground that is not slippery. Apply the

parking brake.

2. It is essential to make sure that the occupants have left the vehicle and

are in a place where their safety is guaranteed.

3. With the engine idling, adjust the ground clearance to maximum height.

See "Comfort" and "Ground clearance adjustment". Switch off the igni-

tion and engage ﬁrst gear or reverse gear depending on any slope (for

a vehicle with automatic gearbox, select position P).

4. Position the chock at the wheel that is diametrically opposite the one to

be replaced.

5. Position the jack at one of the four jacking-points provided on the sub-

frame close to the wheels, then use the handle to unwind the jack until

it reaches the ground.

6. Slide the removal tool 4 into the notch and lever vigorously to detach

the anti-theft bolt protector. See illustration. You can use the handle at

the extremity of the tool 4

7. Slacken the wheel bolts.

8. Continue to extend the jack until the wheel is a few centimetres off the

ground.

9. Undo the bolts, remove the wheel.

Before positioning the jack, always adjust the vehicle's ground

clearance to the "maximum height" position and retain this

adjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehicle (do not

use the hydraulic adjustments).

Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the

jack.

The jack and all the tools are designed speciﬁcallyfor use on your

particular vehicle. Do not use them for any other applications.

Have the original wheel repaired and refitted as soon as

possible.

come to bear on the wheel rim.

The spare wheel is secured by the

ensure that the wheel bolt contact

surfaces are clean and in good

condition.

The wheel bolts are speciﬁc to the type of wheel.

When replacing wheels, check with a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop that the wheel bolts are compatible with

the new wheels.

Note: take care to note down the code number engraved on the

head of the anti-theft bolt socket. This will enable you to obtain

replacement anti-theft bolt sockets from a dealership.
