It is essential not to exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) on
your spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c 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.
WHEEL FOR TEMPORARY
USE
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use
only, when fi tting 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 refi tting the original wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good
condition.

using the centring guide. Make
sure that the contact surface
between the hub and the wheel
