Checking / adjusting tyre pressures

You can also use the compressor, without

injecting sealant, to check and if necessary

adjust the tyre pressures

F

Place the switch in the "O" position.

Remove the kit.

F

Check that the compressor switch is at

the "O" position.

Uncoil fully the electric cable, stowed under

the compressor.

Connect the compressor's plug to the

vehicle's 12 V socket.

Switch on the ignition.

Drive immediately for approximately

three miles (five kilometres), at reduced

speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and

60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.

Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit.

F

Remove the valve cap from the tyre and

place it in a clean area.

Uncoil the pipe stowed under the

compressor.

Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten

firmly.

Practical information

Tyre under-inﬂation

detection

After repair of the tyre, the warning

lamp will remain on until the system is

reinitialised.

For more information, refer to the

"Under-inflation detection" section.

F

Start the compressor by placing the switch

at the "I" position and adjust the pressure

to the value shown on the vehicle's tyre

pressure label.

To deflate: press the black button on the

compressor pipe, at the valve connector.

Once the correct pressure is reached, put

the switch to the "O" position.

Should the pressure of one or more

tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to

reinitialise the under-inflation detection

system.

Refer to the "Under-inflation detection"

section.

F

Remove the kit then stow it.

Changing a wheel

Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare wheel using the tools provided with the vehicle.

Access to the tools

Wheel with trim

When removing the wheel, first

detach the trim using the wheelbrace 1

pulling at the valve passage hole.

When refitting the wheel, refit the

trim starting by placing its cut-out at the

valve and press around its edge with

the palm of your hand.

The tools are installed in the boot under the

floor.

To gain access to them:

List of tools

1. Wheelbrace.

For removing the wheel trim and removing

the wheel fixing bolts.

2. Jack with integral handle.

For raising the vehicle.

3. "Bolt cover" tool.

All of these tools are specific to your

vehicle. Do not use them for other

purposes.

F

open the boot,

lift the boot carpet by pulling the strap

upwards,

Never use a jack other than the

one listed for the vehicle by the

manufacturer. If the vehicle does not

have one, contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop to obtain a jack

specified by the manufacturer.

F

remove the polystyrene storage box,

unclip and remove the box containing the

tools.

For removing the bolt protectors (covers)

on alloy wheels.

4. Socket for the security wheel bolts (located

in the glove box).

For adapting the wheelbrace to the special

security wheel bolts (if your vehicle is fitted

with them)

Practical information

Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under

the floor.

According to country, you will have either a

"space saver" spare wheel or a temporary

puncture repair kit.

Taking out the wheel

Fitting the "space-saver"

type spare wheel

F

Unscrew the yellow central bolt.

Raise the spare wheel towards you from

the rear.

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy

wheels, it is normal to notice, when

tightening the bolts on fitting, that the

washers do not come into contact with

the "space-saver" type spare wheel.

The wheel is secured by the conical

contact surface of each bolt.

F

Take the wheel out of the boot.

For access to it, refer to the "Access to the

tools" section.

Putting the wheel back in place

F

Put the wheel back in its housing.

Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a few

turns then place it in the centre of the

wheel.

Tighten fully until the central bolt clicks to

retain the wheel correctly.

F

Put the box back in place in the centre of

the wheel and clip it.

Put the polystyrene storage box back in

place.

Refit the boot floor carpet by lightly folding

it in the middle (refer to the "Boot fittings"

section).

On vehicles equipped with a "space-

saver" type spare wheel, the punctured

wheel can be stowed in place of the

"space-saver" wheel; however the boot

floor will not then be flat.

Practical information

Removing a wheel

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, switch off the

ignition and engage first gear* to lock

the wheels.

If necessary, place a chock under 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 where they are safe.

Never go underneath a vehicle raised

using a jack; use an axle stand.

List of operations

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the

ground is slippery or loose, the jack

could slip or drop - Risk of injury!

Take care to position the jack only at

one of the jacking points A or B under

the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle's

contact area is well centred on the

head of the jack. Otherwise, there is a

risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the

jack might drop - Risk of injury!

F

Remove the chromed bolt cover from each

of the bolts using the tool 3 (alloy wheels

only).

Fit the socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1 to

slacken the security bolt (if your vehicle is

fitted with them).

Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1 only.

* position R for an electronic gearbox, P for an

automatic gearbox.

F

Position the foot of the jack 2 on the ground

and ensure that it is directly below the

front A or rear B jacking point provided on

the underbody, whichever is closest to the

wheel to be changed.

On vehicles fitted with sill finishers, the

jacking location is indicated by a marking

on the finisher. The jack must be placed

centrally in line with this marking, at the

jacking point located behind the finisher

and not on the plastic finisher itself.

F

Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into

contact with the jacking point A or B used.

The contact area A or B on the vehicle

must be engaged with the central part of

the head of the jack.

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

space between the wheel and the ground

so that the spare (not punctured) wheel can

then be fitted without difficulty.

F

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

Remove the wheel.
