If the vehicle does not have its original

jack, contact a CITROËN dealer or a

Removing a wheel

List of operations

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does

not block traffic: the ground must be

level, stable and non-slippery ground.

Apply the parking brake unless it has

been programmed to automatic mode,

switch off the ignition and engage first

gear* to lock the wheels.

Check that the braking warning lamps

in the instrument panel are on (not

flashing).

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.

F

Remove the bolt cover from each of

the bolts using the tool 3 (according to

equipment).

Never go underneath a vehicle raised

using a jack; use an axle stand.

F

Fit the security socket 4 on the

wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt.

Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1 only.

* Position P for an automatic gearbox.

08 ₂₇₆

In the event of a breakdown

F

Place 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.

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

to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel

easily.

F

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

Remove the wheel.

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may 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 head of the jack is centred under the

contact area of the vehicle. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the jack dropping - Risk of injury!
