Citroen C3: Spare wheel / Putting the spare wheel back in place. After changing a wheel

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.
• Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain the wheel correctly.
• Depending on version, put the tool box back in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in place.

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.
