FAMILIARISATION

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly (en-
gine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommended
by the manufacturer.




When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors fi tted in each valve check
the tyre pressure during driving and
trigger a warning in the event of
malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).

Under-infl ated tyre The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver.
Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen lo-
cating the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The STOP
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen lo-
cating the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to the "Technical
data - Identifi cation markings" sec-
tion) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent prema-
ture wear of the tyres, particularly in
arduous driving conditions (heavy
load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a
sensor.

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.

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.
Do not to exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) on your spare wheel.
Have the original wheel repaired

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.

)
Pull the wheel towards you and
pass the linking plate through
the centre of the wheel.

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.
