WHEEL FOR TEMPORARY
USE
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use
only, when fitting it it is normal to
observe that the wheel bolts do not
come to bear on the wheel rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the
conical tapering of the wheel bolt's
shaft. See illustration.
When refitting the original wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good
condition.

REFITTING A WHEEL
1. Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
2. Screw in the bolts but do not
fully tighten them.
3. Lower the jack and remove it.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
5. Refit the embellisher.
6. Return the ground
ance to the normal position.
See « Adjusting ground clear-
ance ».
7. Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect (see « Vehicle identifica-
tion ») and have the balancing
checked.
It is imperative not to exceed a speed of 80 km / h on the spare
wheel.
The wheel bolts are specific 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.
Note : 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 dealership.
