Refitting the repaired wheel
Refitting the repaired wheel is the same as
fitting the spare wheel; don't forget to refit
the wheel trim.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section for the
location of the tyre pressure label.
The spare wheel is not designed to be used
over long distances. Have the tightening of
the bolts and pressure of the spare wheel
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Also, have the original wheel repaired and
refitted by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Fitting the spare wheel
- Put the spare wheel in place on the hub
and start screwing in the bolts by hand.
- Carry out an initial tightening of the bolts
using the wheelbrace E .
- Lower the vehicle completely by folding
the jack, then remove the jack.
- Tighten the bolts again using the
wheelbrace E , tighten them fully without
forcing them.
- Stow the wheel to be repaired at the
rear of the vehicle.
- Hook the support H and screw in the
handle G .
- Insert the long socket A in the hole then
wind the bolt fully, using the ratchet
wrench B , to raise the wheel.
- Stow the tools and the trim.
If you have a retractable foot board, the jack
must be positioned at 45°.
- Extend the jack using the ratchet
wrench B until the wheel is a
few centimetres off the ground.
- Unscrew the bolts fully and remove the
wheel to be repaired.
