ACCESSING THE SPARE WHEEL
1. Move the third-row seat, right-hand side (7 seater model).
2. Retrieve the extension that is attached to the rear of the seat well.
3. Engage the extension on the pinion located under the carpet in the seat well.
4. Using the wheel brace on the extension to turn the pinion clockwise, release the cable to lower the spare wheel to the ground.
5. Remove the wheel from under the vehicle, disengag-ing the linking plate in the centre of the wheel.
STOWING THE AFFECTED WHEEL
1. It is essential to direct the valve upwards.
2. Pass the linking plate through the centre of the w h e e l ( fi r s t r e m o v i n g t h e c e n t r a l t r i m o n c e r t a i n a l -loy wheels).
3. Turn the pinion anti-clockwise to draw in the ca-ble. First the pinion will turn idly, then the cable will tighten to raise the wheel. Check that the wheel is t i g h t a g a i n s t t h e v e h i c l e fl o o r a n d n o t i n t e r f e r i n g with other nearby components (e.g. the exhaust).
4. Stow the tools and chocks.
W i t h t h e a f f e c t e d r o a d w h e e l n o w u n d e r t h e v e h i c l e fl o o r , t h e v e h i c l e h a s r e d u c e d g r o u n d c l e a r a n c e , so take extra care when reversing or driving on uneven surfaces, inclu ding kerbs.
Retrieval of the spare wheel and stowage of the affected road wheel are operations that should be done with the vehicle supported on its wheels, not by the jack.
Note : The pinion to release the spare wheel is located under the boot carpet, on the right hand side in the wheel well for the Grand C4 Picasso and on the left hand side for the C4 Picasso.

The system may be affected from time to time by interference from radio transmissions on similar frequencies.
This function alerts you in the e v e n t o f a t y r e b e i n g d e fl a t e d o r punctured. For this purpose, sen-sors continuously monitor the con-dition of the vehicle’s wheels.
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures regularly.

Puncture
Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substan- t i a l l y d e fl a t e d ) , h a v e t h e t y r e r e -paired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pressures as soon as you can after that.
The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is in the boot or undergoing re-pair. The spare wheel is not moni-tored by the alert system.
The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is dis-played, accompanied by a message and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown as ab-sent on the vehicle outline. If you have not changed a wheel, this in-formation indicates a malfunction-ing of the system.
Consult the CITROËN network to have the defective sensor(s) re-placed.
Wheel not monitored
T h e d e fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s t e m i s a driving assistance function which does not relieve the driver from the responsibility to be vigilant.
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures on a regular basis ( s e e “ V e h i c l e i d e n t i fi c a t i o n " ) , t o ensure that the vehicle behaves as it should and to avoid prema-ture wear on the tyres, especially when the vehicle is being subject-ed to heavy loads or driven at high speeds.
Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel.

To access them:
- at the front : push at top left, then pull on right.
- at the rear : push at bottom, then pull on top.
The cover remains attached to the bumper by means of a tab, so t hat it cannot become lost.
The ignition key should be in position “M” so as to retain steering.
Use a bar with hooks to attach on the towing rings.
If the engine is not running, the steering and braking systems will not be power-assisted.
If towing another vehicle, the latter should be free-wheeling (that is, gearbox in neutral). Failing to respect this point may damage some braking components and lead to the failure of the braking assistance func-tion when the engine is next started.
Removable towing ring
The towing ring is detachable and c a n b e fi t t e d e i t h e r a t t h e f r o n t o r a t the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed with the tools either in the storage fl a p u n d e r t h e s e c o n d - r o w f o o t w e l l or (according to equipment) in the boot well.

Advice
In exceptional circumstances, it is permitted to tow the vehicle at low speed over a short distance(depending on local legislation in force).
In all other cases, the vehicle must be transported by a trans-porter.
CAUTION - TOWING A VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Put the selector lever in posi-tion N (neutral).
