Citroen C3: Spare wheel / Fitting a wheel
Fitting a
steel or ‘space-saver’ type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy wheels,
the washers do not make contact with the
steel or ‘space-saver’ type spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical surface of
each bolt.
- Fit the wheel on the hub.
- Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
- Pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace
5 only.
- Lower the vehicle again fully.
- 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).
- Store the tools.
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:
These markings on the control
panels
indicate the control positions for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the windscreen and
side windows.
During the winter period, direct the side air
vents towards the side windows to optimise their
demisting and defrosting...
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick into
the USB
port or connect the USB device to the
USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do
not use a USB
hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection...
