Changing a wheel
6. Refitting the repaired wheel
The wheel is refitted as described in
step 5, not forgetting to refit the wheel
trim.
Refer to the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9 to
locate the tyre label.
Refer to the "Instruments and
controls" section of chapter 3,
"Tyre under-inflation detection"
part, for recommendations after
changing a wheel fitted with a tyre
under-inflation detection sensor.
The spare wheel is not designed
to be used over long distances.
Have the tightening of the bolts
and the tyre pressure checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Have the original wheel repaired
and refitted by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
FITTING THE WHEEL TRIM
The tyre valve must be centred in the
wheel trim cut-out.
This position is essential for fitting the
wheel trim correctly on the steel wheel.
(If the valve is not correctly aligned with
the cut-out, the anti-rotation system
will be in contact with the heads of the
wheel bolts and risks being damaged
if the user persists in fitting the wheel
trim in this incorrect position).
-
Ensure that the outer edge of
the wheel trim is not deformed or
pushed into the wheel:
● Correct position for the edge of
the wheel trim.
● Incorrect position for the edge of
the wheel trim.
-
Ensure that all of the clips are
engaged except the last one
(opposite the valve hole).
-
Strike the wheel trim with the palm
of your hand, opposite the valve
in the area of the last fixing clip
(always in the direction of clipping).
