Citroen C3 Dag (2010 year). Instruction

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is installed in the boot

under the ﬂ oor.

According to country, the spare wheel may

be steel or of the "space-saver" type.

To gain access to it, refer to the para-

graph "Access to the tools" on the previ-

ous page.

Fitting the steel or
"space-saver" type spare
wheel
If your vehicle is ﬁ tted with al-

loy wheels, it is normal to notice,

when tightening the bolts on ﬁ t-

ting, that the washers do not

come into contact with the steel

or "space-saver" type spare

wheel. The wheel is secured by

the conical contact of each bolt.

Taking out the wheel


Unscrew the yellow central bolt.



Raise the spare wheel towards you

from the rear.



Take the wheel out of the boot.

Putting the wheel back in place


Put the wheel back in its housing.



Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a

few turns then put it in place in the

centre of the wheel.



Tighten fully until the central bolt

clicks to retain the wheel correctly.



Put the box back in place in the centre

of the wheel and clip it.



Put the polystyrene storage box

back in place.



Reﬁ t the boot ﬂ oor carpet by lightly

folding it in two (refer to the section

"Fittings - § Storage box").

On vehicles equipped with a

"space-saver" type spare wheel,

the punctured wheel cannot be

stowed in place of the "space-

saver" wheel.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

* position R for a "SensoDrive" gearbox;

position P for an automatic gearbox.

Removing the wheel

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it

does not block trafﬁ c: the ground

must be level, stable and not

slippery.

Apply the parking brake, switch

off the ignition and engage ﬁ rst

gear * to lock the wheels.

If necessary, place a chock under

the wheel diagonally opposite the

wheel to be changed.

It is imperative that you ensure

that the occupants get out of the

vehicle and wait where they are

safe.

Never go underneath a vehicle

raised using a jack; use an axle

stand.

List of operations


Remove the chromed bolt cover from

each of the bolts using the tool 3 .



Fit the security bolt socket 4 on the

wheelbrace 1

to slacken the security

bolt.



Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1

only.



Place the jack 2 in contact with one

of the two front A or rear B locations

provided on the underbody, which-

ever is closest to the wheel to be

changed.



Extend the jack 2 until its base plate

is in contact with the ground. Ensure

that the centreline of the jack base

plate is directly below the location A

or B used.



Raise the vehicle until there is suf-

ﬁ cient space between the wheel and

the ground to admit the spare (not

punctured) wheel easily.



Remove the bolts and store them in

a clean place.



Remove the wheel.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in

the boot correctly, ﬁ rst remove

the central cover.

When using the "space-saver"

type temporary use 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 qualiﬁ ed workshop

without delay.

Have the punctured wheel re-

paired and replace it on the vehicle

as soon as possible.

Do not drive with more than one

temporary use spare wheel ﬁ tted

to the vehicle at one time.

Fitting the wheel

List of operations




Screw in the bolts by hand.



Pre-tighten the security bolt using

the wheelbrace 1

ﬁ tted with the se-

curity bolt socket 4 .



Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1

only.



Lower the vehicle fully.



Fold the jack 2 and detach it.



PRACTICAL INFORMATION

The headlamps are ﬁ tted with

polycarbonate glass with a pro-

tective coating:
 do not clean them using a

dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,



use a sponge and soapy water,



when using a high pressure

washer on persistent marks,

do not direct at the lamps or

their outlines for too long, so

as not to damage their pro-

tective coating and seals.

CHANGING A BULB



Do not touch the bulb directly

with your ﬁ ngers, use lint-

Changing a bulb should only be

done after the headlamp has

been switched off for a few min-

utes (risk of serious burns).

It is imperative to use only anti-

ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in

order not to damage the head-

lamp.

Always replace a failed bulb with

a new bulb with the same type

and speciﬁ cation.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Starting using another battery



Connect the red cable to the posi-

then to the positive terminal (+) of

the slave battery B .

BATTERY

Procedure for charging your battery

when it is ﬂ at or for starting the engine

using another battery.

The battery is located under the bonnet.

To gain access to it:


open the bonnet using the interior

release lever, then the exterior safe-

ty catch,



secure the bonnet stay,



unclip the control unit housing 1 lo-

cated to the right of the battery,



unclip the fusebox 2 located on top

of the battery,



remove the cable from the (+) terminal,



remove the plastic cover.

Access to the battery

The presence of this label, in

particular with the Stop & Start

system, indicates the use of a

12 V lead-acid battery with spe-

cial technology and speciﬁ cation;

the involvement of a CITROËN

dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop is

essential when replacing or dis-

connecting the battery.

Failure to observe this recom-

mendation may cause prema-

ture wear of the battery.

After reﬁ tting the battery, the

Stop & Start system will only be

active after a continuous period

of immobilisation of the vehicle,

a period which depends on the

climatic conditions and the state

of charge of the battery (up to

about 8 hours).
