Removing the wheel
Remove the trim.
Release the wheel bolts using
the wheelbrace 1.
Position the jack 2 on one of
the four jacking points A pro-
vided on the underframe, the
one closest to the wheel to be
changed.
Extend the jack 2 until its base
is in contact with the ground.
Ensure that the centreline of
the jack base is directly below
the location A used.
Lift the vehicle.
Remove the bolts and detach
the wheel.
Never go underneath a
vehicle supported only by a
jack (use an axle stand).
After changing a wheel:
- have the tightening of the
bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked as
soon as possible,
- have the punctured wheel
repaired and refit it on
the vehicle as soon as
possible.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refitting the wheel
Position the wheel.
Screw in the bolts fully by
hand.
Pre-tighten using the
wheelbrace 1.
Fold the jack 2 and detach it.
Tighten the wheel bolts using
the wheelbrace 1.
Refit the trim.
Store the tools and the wheel in
the boot.
Light alloy wheels
If your vehicle is equipped with
light alloy wheels and a steel spare
wheel, then if fitting the latter it is
normal to note that the heads of
the wheel bolts do not come to
bear on the wheel rim.
The steel spare wheel is secured
by the conical tapering of the
wheel bolts’ shafts, see diagram.
When refitting the light alloy wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt heads
are in undamaged condition.
