Access to the tools
The tools are installed in the boot under the fl oor.
To gain access to them:
List of tools
All of these tools are specifi c to your vehicle. Do not use them for other purposes.
1. Wheelbrace.
Permits removal of the wheel trim and removal of the wheel fi xing bolts.
2. Jack with integral handle.
Permits raising of the vehicle.
3. "Bolt cover" tool.
Permits removal of the bolt protectors (covers) on alloy wheels.
4. Socket for the security wheel bolts (located in the glove box).
Permits adaptation of the wheelbrace to the special "security" wheel bolts.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel , fi rst detach the trim using the wheelbrace 1 pulling at the valve passage hole.
When refi tting the wheel , refi t the trim starting by placing its cut-out at the valve and press around its edge with the palm of your hand.
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot under the fl oor.
According to country, the spare wheel may be steel or of the "space saver" type.
To gain access to it, refer to the paragraph "Access to the tools" on the previous page.
Fitting the steel or "spacesaver" type spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy wheels, it is normal to notice, when tightening the bolts on fi tting, that the washers do not come into contact with the steel or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical contact of each bolt.
Taking out the wheel
Putting the wheel back in place
On vehicles equipped with a "space-saver" type spare wheel, the punctured wheel cannot be stowed in place of the "spacesaver" wheel.
Removing the wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst 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.

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, fi rst remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type temporary use spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.
Do not drive with more than one temporary use spare wheel fi tted to the vehicle at one time.
