and
press button B
), in accordance
with the vehicle's tyre pressure
label (located on the door aper-

The cartridge is designed for a sin-
gle use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it
to a CITROËN dealer or to an au-
thorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre un-
der-infl ation detection, the tyre
under-infl ation warning lamp will
remain on after the wheel has been
repaired until the system is reini-
tialised by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Grand C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
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.
Taking out the wheel (C4 Picasso)
)
Lift the boot fl oor covering to re-
veal the spare wheel carrier drive
on the left.
)
Take the extension 7
from the
set of tools.
)
Lift up the spare wheel carrier
drive aperture cap, if fi tted.
)
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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 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
gearbox).
)
Use a chock to secure the vehi-
cle more safely. Place the chock
9
in front of the wheel that is op-
posite 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 security bolts using the secu-
rity 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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Temporary use spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use only,
when fi tting this it is normal to ob-
serve 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.
Under-infl ation detection
Wheels with under-infl ation detection
have tyre pressure sensors. Have repairs
to them carried out by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. The spare wheel
does not have a sensor.
Security bolts (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with
one security bolt (depending on the
country of sale).
To remove it:
)
remove its protective cover us-
ing of the tool for removing the
chrome covers 2
.
)
use the security bolt socket 6
with the wheelbrace 4
.
Spare wheel dimensions
If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the standard
vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a la-
bel), it is imperative to use the spare
wheel only temporarily, to drive
with caution, not to exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) and to have the tyre re-
paired and the standard wheel refi t-
ted as soon as possible.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label
on the front left-hand door pillar
(see "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 or a qualifi ed
workshop that the wheel bolts are
compatible with the new wheels.
Make a note of the code number on
the head of the security bolt sock-
et. This will enable you to obtain a
replacement security bolt socket
from your dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are pro-
hibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
