Recommendations
- Distribute your load evenly, avoiding overloading on one side.
- Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close as possible to the roof.
- Anchor the load securely and signal if any part of it is overhanging.
- 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 long-er needed.

The puncture repair kit is a complete system including a compressor and a setting product.
It allows you to temporarily repair the tyre, to enable you to drive to your nearest garage.
Depending on model, it is located either in the boot well or in the compartment under the left hand second-row passenger (open the fl ap by turning the screw a quarter turn).
Using the puncture repair kit
1. Affi x a speed limit sticker on the affected wheel, and one on the steering wheel, to re-mind you that you are driving with a wheel that is only fi t for temporary use.
2. Clip the fl ask 1 on the com-pressor 2.
3. Connect the fl ask 1 to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
4. Connect the compressor pipe to the fl ask.
5. Connect the electric cable to one of the vehicle’s 12V sockets.
6. Operate the compressor by pressing the button A until the pressure in the tyre reaches 2.0 bars. If you cannot make the pressure attain this level, then the tyre is not repairable.
7. Remove and stow the com-pressor.
8. Drive immediately for a few miles at reduced speed, in or-der for the repair to set.
9. Adjust the tyre pressure to the normal level for the vehicle, checking that there is no air es-caping (no loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (80 km/h / 50 mph).
Visit a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you have used the puncture repair kit to repair the tyre and give him its user guide.

ACCESSING THE SPARE WHEEL
1. Move the third-row seat, right-hand side (7 seater model).
2. Retrieve the extension that is attached to the rear of the seat well.
3. Engage the extension on the pinion located under the carpet in the seat well.
4. Using the wheel brace on the extension to turn the pinion clockwise, release the cable to lower the spare wheel to the ground.
5. Remove the wheel from under the vehicle, disengag-ing the linking plate in the centre of the wheel.
STOWING THE AFFECTED WHEEL
1. It is essential to direct the valve upwards.
2. Pass the linking plate through the centre of the wheel (fi rst removing the central trim on certain al-loy wheels).
3. Turn the pinion anti-clockwise to draw in the ca-ble. First the pinion 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).
4. Stow the tools and chocks.
With the affected road wheel now under the vehicle fl oor , the vehicle has reduced ground clearance, so take extra care when reversing or driving on uneven surfaces, inclu ding 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.
Note : 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.

Towing ring fi xings are placed at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.
To access them:
- at the front : push at top left, then pull on right.
- at the rear : push at bottom, then pull on top.
The cover remains attached to the bumper by means of a tab, so t hat it cannot become lost.
The ignition key should be in position “M” so as to retain steering.
Use a bar with hooks to attach on the towing rings.
If the engine is not running, the steering and braking systems will not be power-assisted.
If towing another vehicle, the latter should be free-wheeling (that is, gearbox in neutral). Failing to respect this point may damage some braking components and lead to the failure of the braking assistance func-tion when the engine is next started.
Removable towing ring
The towing ring is detachable and can be fi tted either at the front or at the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed with the tools either in the storage fl ap under the second-row footwell or (according to equipment) in the boot well.

In all other cases, the vehicle must be transported by a trans-porter.
