Adjust the headlamp height in accordance with the vehicle load.Check the tyre pressures and the electrical signal of the towed vehicle.Respect the authorised load capacities.For maximum loads that can be distributed on the roof bars: See Chapter: “General information”.
Bicycle carrier
Do not attach a bicycle carrier with straps to the follow-ing vehicle versions:
- C4 Picasso 5-seater (all versions) ;
- C4 Picasso 7-seater version with opening rear screen.
Roof bars and roof boxes
The design of your vehicle, for your safety and to avoid damage to the roof and tailgate, requires the use of roof bars and roof boxes that are tested and approved by AUTOMOBILES CITROËN.
DIMENSIONS (in millimetres)
A : 99.04 mm C : 96.84 mm
B : 931.60 mm D : 820.53 mm
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.

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 w h e e l ( fi r s t r e m o v i n g t h e c e n t r a l t r i m o n c e r t a i n a l -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 t i g h t a g a i n s t t h e v e h i c l e fl o o r a n d n o t i n t e r f e r i n g with other nearby components (e.g. the exhaust).
4. Stow the tools and chocks.
W i t h t h e a f f e c t e d r o a d w h e e l n o w u n d e r t h e v e h i c l e fl o o r , t h e v e h i c l e h a s r e d u c e d g r o u n d c l e a r a n c e , 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.

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 c a n b e fi t t e d e i t h e r a t t h e f r o n t o r a t the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed with the tools either in the storage fl a p u n d e r t h e s e c o n d - r o w f o o t w e l l or (according to equipment) in the boot well.
