After changing a wheel To stow the wheel correctly in the boot, first remove the centre trim. When using a "temporary-use" spare wheel, do not exceed 80 km/h. Have the wheel bolt tightness and the spare wheel pressure checked as soon as possible at a CITROËN dealership or a specialist workshop. Repair the punctured tyre and refit it as soon as possible. Driving with more than one temporary-use spare wheel at the same time is prohibited.
