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

 Lift the boot fl oor covering to re-
veal the spare wheel carrier drive
on the right.

 Take the extension 8 clipped in
the rear of the well below the
right hand third-row seat.

 Lift up the spare wheel carrier
drive aperture cap.

 Fit the extension to the drive then
engage the head of the wheel-
brace 4 on the extension.

 Turn the assembly clockwise to
the end of its travel to lower the
spare wheel carrier; the spare
wheel is now resting on the
ground.

 Pull the wheel towards you and
pass the linking plate through
the centre of the wheel. 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 standing on its
wheels, not supported by the jack.
Putting the wheel back in place

 The tyre valve must be facing
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 carrier drive anti-clock-
wise to draw in the carrier cable.
Initially the drive will turn freely,
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.

Removing a wheel

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

 Use a chock to secure the vehicle
more safely. Place the chock 9
in front of the wheel opposite the
punctured wheel.
 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, slacken
the security bolts using the secu-
rity bolt 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 deac-
tivate your pneumatic sus-
pension.

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 section of each wheel bolt.
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.
Under-infl ation detection
These 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.
Security bolts (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with
one security bolt.
To remove it:

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

 Use the security bolt socket 6
with the wheelbrace 4 . Dimension of the spare
wheel
If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the normal
vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a la-
bel), you must use the spare wheel
only temporarily, drive with caution,
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) and
have the tyre repaired and the nor-
mal wheel refi tted as soon as pos-
sible.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label
on the right-hand front door pillar
(see section "Technical Data - §
Identifi cation markings ").
The wheel bolts are specifi c
to each type of wheel.
If new wheels are fi tted, check
with your CITROËN dealer that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Note: take care to note down the
code number on the head of the
security bolt socket. This will ena-
ble you to obtain a replacement se-
curity bolt socket from a CITROËN
dealership.
