Changing a bulb

With a 'space-saver' type spare wheel

The headlamps have polycarbonate

lenses with a protective coating:

F do not clean them using a dry or

abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent

or solvent product,

F use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product,

The following is recommended:

F when using a high pressure washer

on persistent marks, do not keep the

lance directed towards the lamps or

their edges for too long, so as not to

damage their protective coating and

seals.

deactivate certain driving aid functions

(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise

control, etc.), as indicated on the label

attached to the wheel,

do not exceed the maximum

authorised speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).

F Tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 5 fitted with security socket 2.

F Tighten the other bolts using wheelbrace

5 only.

F Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts

(depending on equipment).

F Store the tools.

Driving with more than one 'space-saver'

type spare wheel is prohibited.

Changing a bulb must only be done with

the ignition off and after the lamp has

been switched off for several minutes –

Risk of serious burns!

F Do not touch the bulb directly with your

fingers, use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the

headlamp.

Always replace a failed bulb with a new

bulb with the same type and specification.

After changing a wheel

Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,

depending on version, remove the central cover

first to store it beneath the floor in place of the

spare wheel.

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.
