Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good con-
dition.
Fitting a wheel
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
Lower the jack and remove it.
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect and have the balancing
checked.
Deflation detection
Such wheels have tyre pressure sen-
sors. It is essential to have repairs
carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-theft bolts
Each wheel is equipped with one
anti-theft bolt.
To remove it:
Remove the protector using tool
3
.
Use the anti-theft socket with the
handle.
If your vehicle is fi tted with
a spare wheel of a different
size to those on the vehi-
cle, you must not exceed 50 mph
( 80 km/h ) whilst using the spare
wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
that the wheel bolts are compatible
with the new wheels.
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 deal-
ership.
