Changing A Bulb - CITROEN C3 Handbook

► Tighten the spare wheel fixing screw by a few
turns.
After changing a wheel
The temporary spare wheel is only
intended for temporary emergency use,
until the conventional wheel can be repaired
or replaced.
Continuous use of this spare can result in tire
failure and loss of control. Always observe
these precautions when using this spare:
– Your vehicle will respond differently with
this temporary spare.
– Do not exceed 80 km/h speed.
– Replace this spare with a standard tire and
wheel as soon as possible.
– Use of this spare will reduce ground
clearance.
– Set the specified tire pressure indicated
on the tire information label located on the
driver's door lock pillar.
– Do not use tire chains on the temporary
spare. If you must use tire chains, rearrange
the wheels so standard tires and wheels are
fitted to the front axle.
– The temporary spare wheel has a much
shorter tread life than the conventional wheels
on your vehicle. Replace the tire as soon as
possible as the tread wear indicator appears.
The inflation pressure of the temporary spare
wheel should be checked at least monthly. At
the same time, check that the tire is stored
securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
wheels should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.

Changing a bulb

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

The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
– Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
– 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 headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /

lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
Refitting the lamp units
