PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION

Grand C4
Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehi-
cle load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
pneumatic springs infl ate in or-
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
springs defl ate to return the ve-
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused for a long period, the pneumatic
springs may infl ate if necessary
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, the automatic correction
will be activated as soon as the ve-
hicle starts to move. During the cor-
rection, the service warning lamp
lights up and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
10 km/h (6 mph).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode. Activation/Deactivation
The automatic correction can be de-
activated:

 press on the button B for approx-
imately two seconds,

 release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is con-
fi rmed by the lighting of the indi-
cator lamp on the button B .

In the event of the system mal-
functioning, alert messages,
always in association with the
service warning lamp, will dis-
play in the instrument panel .
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
It is essential that you should deac-
tivate the system in the following in-
stances:
- working under the vehicle,
- changing a wheel,
- transporting the vehicle on a
truck or on a boot.
To reactivate the automatic correc-
tion:

 press again on the button B for
approximately two seconds,

 release the button when you hear
a beep. Activation is confi rmed
by the extinction of the indicator
lamp on the button B .

 Remove the compressor and
store the bottle in the plastic bag,
supplied in the kit, to avoid stain-
ing your vehicle with traces of
fl uid.

 Drive immediately for approxi-
mately two miles (three kilome-
tres), at reduced speed (between
15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]),
to plug the puncture.

 Stop to check the repair and the
pressure.

 Connect the compressor pipe di-
rectly to the valve of the repaired
wheel.

 Switch on the compressor by
moving the switch A to posi-
tion "1" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2.0 bars. If this pressure has not been
reached after approximately three
minutes, the tyre cannot be re-
paired; contact a CITROËN dealer
to have your vehicle repaired.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Access to the tools
Depending on equipment, the tools
are to be found either in the com-
partment under the second-row pas-
senger footwells (the compartment
is opened by turning the screw a
quarter turn) or in the well under the
third-row left-hand seat.

1. Tool for removing the central trim
on alloy wheels

2. Tool for removing the chrome
covers on the wheel bolts on al-
loy wheels

3. Centring guide

4. Tool for removing the wheel
bolts

5. Vehicle jack with integrated handle Switch on your hazard
warning lamps, ensure that
any passengers leave the
vehicle and fi nd a safe place to wait
away from traffi c (e.g. behind crash
barriers or on a grass verge).
Never get underneath the vehicle
if it is supported only by the jack;
use a stand.
The jack and the tools are specifi c
to your vehicle. Do not use for any
other purpose.
It is essential not to exceed a speed
of 80 km/h (50 mph) on your spare
wheel.
Have the original wheel repaired
and refi tted as soon as possible.

6. Anti-theft socket (located in the
glovebox)

7. Two chocks, provided for chang-
ing a wheel or for other uses on
the vehicle (such as unlocking
the electric parking brake)

8. Parking brake release tool (elec-
tric parking brake)

9. Removable towing eye

Grand C4 Picasso C4 Picasso Access to the spare wheel
Taking out the wheel

 Move the third-row seat, right-
hand side (7 seater model).

 Retrieve the extension that is
attached to the rear of the seat
well.

 Engage the extension on the
pinion, located under the carpet
in the seat well.

 Using the wheel brace 4 on the
extension to turn the pinion
clockwise , release the cable
to lower the spare wheel to the
ground.

 Remove the wheel from under
the vehicle, disengaging the
linking plate in the centre of the
wheel.
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. Putting the wheel back in place

 It is essential to direct the valve
upwards.

 Pass the linking plate through
the centre of the wheel (fi rst re-
moving the central trim on cer-
tain alloy wheels).

 Turn the pinion anti-clockwise
to draw in the cable. First the pin-
ion will turn idly, then the cable
will tighten to raise the wheel.
Check that the wheel is tight against the vehicle fl oor and
not interfering with other nearby
components (e.g. the exhaust).

 Stow the tools.
With the damaged wheel
now under the vehicle fl oor,
the vehicle has reduced
ground clearance, so take extra
care when reversing or driving on
uneven surfaces, including 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.

Removing a wheel

 Park the vehicle on level, stable
and non-slippery ground. Apply
the parking brake (a message
and a warning lamp appear on
the instrument panel).
Switch off the ignition and engage fi rst gear or reverse gear depend-
ing on the slope (position P if an
automatic gearbox, D or R if a
6-speed electronic gearbox).

 Use a chock to secure the vehicle
more safely. Place the chock 7 in
front of the wheel that is opposite
the wheel affected.
 Detach the trim using the remov-
ing tool 4 , pulling in the area of
the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels, insert the trim removing tool 1
into the recess in the central trim
and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels that have visible bolts, remove
the chrome covers using the re-
moving tool 2 .
 Slacken the wheel bolts. For ve-
hicles with alloy wheels, undo
the anti-theft bolts using the anti-
theft socket 6 .

 Position the jack under the vehi-
cle, at the jacking point A closest
to the wheel to be changed.

 Unwind the jack 5 until its brack-
et is in contact with the ground.
Make sure that the jack is verti-
cal under the jacking point used.

 Continue to extend the jack so
as to raise the vehicle.

 Undo the wheel bolts and re-
move the wheel.
Before any operation of
this sort, it is advisable to
deactivate your pneumatic
suspension.

Wheel for temporary use
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use only,
when fi tting this it is normal to observe
that the wheel bolts do not come to
bear directly on the wheel rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the
conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s
shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolts and wash-
ers are clean and in good condition.

Fitting a wheel

 Position the wheel with the aid of
the centring guide 3 .

 Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then
remove the centring guide 3 .
Position the 4 th bolt.

 Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, us-
ing the wheelbrace 4 .


Retract the jack 5 and disengage it.

 Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace 4 .

 Ensure that the tyre pressure is
correct.
Defl ation detection
Such wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. It is essential to have re-
pairs carried out by a CITROËN
dealer. The spare wheel does not
have a sensor.
Anti-theft bolts (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with
one anti-theft bolt.
To remove it:

 Remove the protector that is
covering it by means of the tool for
removing the chrome covers 2 .

 Use the anti-theft socket 6 with
the wheelbrace 4 . Dimension of the spare
wheel
If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the normal ve-
hicle wheels (identifi ed by a label), it
is imperative to use the spare wheel
only temporarily, to drive with cau-
tion, not to exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
and to have the tyre repaired and
the normal wheel refi tted as soon as
possible.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label on the front left-hand door pillar (see section "Technical Specifi cation - § Vehicle Identifi cation ").
The wheel bolts are specifi c to each type of wheel.
If new wheels are fi tted, check with your CITROËN dealer that the If new wheels are fi tted, check If new wheels are fi tted, check
wheel bolts are compatible with the new wheels.
Note: take care to note down the code number on the head of the anti-theft bolt socket. This will ena-ble you to obtain a replacement anti-theft socket from a CITROËN ble you to obtain a replacement ble you to obtain a replacement
dealership.
