Removing A Wheel; Parking The Vehicle; List Of Operations - CITROËN DS3 Handbook

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first 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.
* position P for an automatic gearbox.

List of operations

F Remove the chromed bolt cover from each
of the bolts using the tool 3 (alloy wheels
only).
F Fit the socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1 to
slacken the security bolt (if your vehicle is
fitted with them).
F Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack
could slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack only at
one of the jacking points A or B under
the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle's
contact surface is well centred on the
head of the jack. Otherwise, there is a
risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the
jack might drop - Risk of injury!
