Switch on your hazard warning lights, ensure that any passengers leave the vehicle and fi nd a safe place to wait away from traffi c (e.g. behind crash barriers or on a grass verge).
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the jack ; use a stand.
It is essential not to exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) on your spare wheel.
Have the original wheel repaired and refi tted as soon as possible.

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.

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 tapering of the wheel bolt’s shaft (see illustration).
When refi tting the original wheel, ensure that the wheel bolt contact surfaces are clean and in good condition.
WHEEL EQUIPPED WITH DEFLATION DETECTION SYSTEM
Such wheels have tyre pressure sensors. It is essential to have re-pairs carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
ANTI-THEFT BOLTS (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with one anti-theft bolt.
To remove it :
1. Remove the protector that is covering it by means of the tool 2 (for removing the chrome covers on alloy wheels).
2. Use the anti-theft socket 9with the handle.
DIMENSION OF THE SPARE WHEEL
If your spare wheel has dimen-sions different from those of the normal vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a label), it is imperative to use the spare wheel only temporarily, to drive with caution, not to exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) and to have the tyre repaired and the normal wheel refi tted as soon as possible.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label on the front left-hand door pillar (see "Vehicle Identifi cation").
The wheel bolts are specifi c to each type of wheel.
If new wheels are fi tted, check with your CITROËN dealer that the wheel bolts are compatible with the new wheels.
Note : take care to note down the code number on the head of the anti-theft bolt socket. This will enable you to obtain a replacement anti-theft socket from a CITROËN dealership.theft bolt socket. This will enable you This will
REFITTING A WHEEL
1. Position the wheel with the aid of the centring guide 3.
2. Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then remove the centring guide 3. Position the 4th bolt.
3. Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace 4.
4. Retract the jack 5 and disen-gage it.
5. Tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace 4.
6. Ensure that the tyre pressure is correct (see “Vehicle identi-fi cation”).

The system may be affected from time to time by interference from radio transmissions on similar frequencies.
This function alerts you in the event of a tyre being defl ated or punctured. For this purpose, sen-sors continuously monitor the con-dition of the vehicle’s wheels.
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures regularly.
T Y R E D E F L A T I O N D E T E C T I O N
The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a ve-hicle outline is displayed, accompanied by a mes-sage and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown fl ashing on the vehicle outline. Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Defl ation warning
The STOP warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is displayed, ac-companied by a mes-sage and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown fl ashing on the vehi-cle outline. Stop the vehicle imme-diately, avoiding any violent actions on the steering wheel or brakes.
Puncture
Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substan-tially defl ated), have the tyre re-paired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pressures as soon as you can after that.
The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is in the boot or undergoing re-pair. The spare wheel is not moni-tored by the alert system.
The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is dis-played, accompanied by a message and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown as ab-sent on the vehicle outline. If you have not changed a wheel, this in-formation indicates a malfunction-ing of the system.
Consult the CITROËN network to have the defective sensor(s) re-placed.
Wheel not monitored
The defl ation detection system is a driving assistance function which does not relieve the driver from the responsibility to be vigilant.
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures on a regular basis (see “Vehicle identifi cation"), to ensure that the vehicle behaves as it should and to avoid prema-ture wear on the tyres, especially when the vehicle is being subject-ed to heavy loads or driven at high speeds.
Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel.
