PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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 repairs
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
country of sale).
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 ve-
hicle wheels (identifi ed by a label),
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 normal
wheel refi tted as soon as possible.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label
on the right-hand front door pil-
lar (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
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Note: make a note of the code
number on the head of the security
bolt socket. This will enable you to
obtain a replacement security bolt
socket from a CITROËN dealership.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
12 V BATTERY
Procedure for starting the engine
using another battery or for charging
your fl at battery.
The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of
a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).
*
or position P
for an automatic gear-
box.
Access to the battery
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: ap-
ply the parking brake, put
the gearbox in neutral * , then switch
off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment
is switched off.
Check that the battery posts and
terminals are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
green deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.
Batteries contain harmful
substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used cell batteries and vehi-
cle batteries to an authorised col-
lection point.
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
)
Release the bonnet using the
interior lever, then the exterior
safety catch,
)
raise the bonnet and secure it
with its stay,
)
lift the plastic cover for access to
the (+) terminal.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ROOF BARS
For your safety and to avoid damage
to the roof and tailgate, the design of
your vehicle requires the use of roof
bars and roof boxes that are tested
and approved by CITROËN.
Regardless of the type of load car-
rier to be mounted on the roof (roof
box, bicycle carrier, ski carrier...),
you must fi t transverse roof bars.
Recommendations
)
Distribute the load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.
)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.
)
Anchor the load securely and fi t
a warning fl ag part of it is over-
hanging.
)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).
)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.
Bicycle carrier
Do not attach a strap-fi tting bicycle car-
rier to the following vehicle versions:
- C4 Picasso 5-seater (all versions);
- C4 Picasso 7-seater version with
opening rear screen.
Maximum load, distributed
over the roof bars (for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm,
except bicycle carrier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transport of
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.
* According to country.
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow
at the radiator cooling fan.
Fitting
)
Offer up the very cold climate
screen to the front of the lower
section of the front bumper.
)
Press around its edge to engage
its fi xing clips one by one.
Removal
)
Use a screwdriver as a lever to
release each fi xing clip in turn.
Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen:
- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,
- when towing,
-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
