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 supported on its
wheels, not 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.
