F

Position 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.

F Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

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

F

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

F

Remove the wheel.

F

Extend the jack 2 until it comes into contact

with the jacking point A or B used; the
contact surface at the jacking point A or B
must be correctly engaged with the central
part of the head of the jack

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop -
Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
making sure that the vehicle's contact surface is centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise
there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk of injury!

Fitting a wheel

Fitting the "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
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical surface of
each bolt.

After changing a wheel

The wheel with the punctured tyre
cannot be fitted under the vehicle. It
must be stowed flat on the boot floor;
use a cover to protect the inside of the
boot.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
driving with the "space-saver" type
spare wheel fitted.
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 refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.

List of operations

F

Put the wheel in place on the hub.

F

Screw in the bolts fully by hand.

F

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

DS5_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed02-2015

Snow chains

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.

Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.

Advice on installation

F

If you have to fit the chains during a

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.

F

Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.

F

Fit the chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

F

Move off gently and drive for a few

moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).

F

Stop your vehicle and check that the snow

chains are correctly tightened.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

Original tyre size

Maximum link size.

215/60 R16

9 mm

225/50 R17

235/45 R18

cannot be fitted with

snow chains

235/40 R19

For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.

Changing a bulb

Front lamps

Model with directional xenon
headlamps

(LEds).

2. directional main beam / dipped beam

headlamps (d1S).

3. direction indicators (LEds).
4. directional foglamps (LEds).

*.

4. direction indicators (HY21).
5. directional foglamps (H11).

For bulbs with lugs (type H7...) take
care to observe their correct installation
so as to ensure the best lighting
performance.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

Risk of electrocution

Xenon bulbs (D1S) must be replaced
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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.

* LEDs: light-emitting diodes.

DS5_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed02-2015

The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:
F do not clean them using a dry

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

F

use a sponge and soapy water or a

pH neutral product,

F

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.

daytime running lamps / sidelamps

For the replacement of this type of LED lamp
and lighting guides, contact a CITROËN dealer

F

use the special tweezer to extract the fuse

from its housing and check the condition of
