Citroen C3: Spare wheel / Fitting a wheel

- Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
- Pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace

- Fold jack 6 and remove it.
- Tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 5 only.
- Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed to be in
automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition...
Putting the spare wheel back in place
Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel...
Other information:
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed...
