the wheel correctly.

After changing a wheel
With a
"space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Driving with more than one “space-saver”
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have
the tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.

the washers do not make contact with the
steel or ‘space-saver’ type spare wheel...
In some weather conditions
(e.g. low

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes...

position P, when
the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal sounds and a
message ..
