fixing bolts.

Jack with integral handle.

For raising the vehicle.

Bolt cover removal tool.

For removing the bolt head protectors on
alloy wheels.

Socket for the security bolts (located in the

glove box).

For adapting the wheelbrace to the special
"security" bolts.

All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and can vary according to
equipment.
Do not use them for any other
purposes.

The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured
tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one

For BlueHDi Diesel versions

If your vehicle has a manual parking brake,
the jack is stowed under the spare wheel and
under the storage box:
F

remove the "space-saver" type spare

wheel,

remove the polystyrene storage box,

push the jack forward, then lift it by its rear

part.

If your vehicle has an electric parking brake,
the jack is stowed in a bag placed in the boot.

Wheel with trim

When removing the wheel

, detach the

trim first using the wheelbrace 1 pulling
at the valve passage hole.
When refitting the wheel

, refit the trim

starting by placing its notch facing the
valve and press around its edge with
the palm of your hand.

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
the floor.
Depending on version, the spare wheel may be
a standard size steel or alloy wheel; for some
countries of sale it is the "space saver" type.

Access to the spare wheel

If your vehicle has an electric parking
brake, only a "space saver" type of
wheel can be stowed in the boot.

Unscrew the central nut.

Remove the fixing assembly (nut and bolt).

Raise the spare wheel towards you from

the rear.

Take the wheel out of the boot.

Tyre under-inflation detection

The spare wheel is not fitted with a
sensor. The punctured wheel must be
repaired by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on (not
flashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

Remove the bolt cover from each of

the bolts using the tool 3 (according to
equipment).

Fit the security socket 4 on the

wheelbrace 1

to slacken the security bolt.

Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1

only.

* Position P for an automatic gearbox.

List of operations

276

In the event of a breakdown

DS4_en_Chap08_en-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground

and ensure that it is directly below the
front A or rear B

jacking point provided on

the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

Remove the wheel.

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is centred under the
contact area of the vehicle. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the jack dropping - Risk of injury!

Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into

contact with the jacking point A or B used;
the contact area A or B

on the vehicle must

be engaged with the central part of the
head of the jack.

F Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.

Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "space-

saver" spare wheel

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, when tightening the bolts on
fitting it is normal to notice that the
washers do not come into contact with
the steel or "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.

Put the wheel in place on the hub.

Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1

fitted with the security

socket 4.

Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1

only.

After changing a wheel

To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, first remove the central
cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

Changing a bulb

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,

use a sponge and soapy water or a

pH neutral product,

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.

Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp 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 imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.

Light-emitting diodes (LED)

For the replacement of this type of
lamp, go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
LED (light-emitting diode) replacement
kits are available from CITROËN
dealers.

Risk of electrocution
