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.

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 remind you that you are driving with a wheel that is only fi t for temporary use.
2. Clip the fl ask 1 on the compressor 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 compressor.
8. Drive immediately for a few miles at reduced speed, in order for the repair to set.
9. Adjust the tyre pressure to the normal level for the vehicle, checking that there is no air escaping (no loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (80 km/h / 50 mph). The tyre should be examined and repaired as soon as possible by a professional.
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.
Warning, the fl ask of puncture repair gel contains ethylene-glycol, a product that is toxic if ingested and irritating for the eyes.
Keep out of reach of children.
After use, do not dispose of the fl ask in the environment, but return it to a CITROËN dealer or alternatively to a recognised recovery facility.
This repair kit is available from a CITROËN dealer.
P U N C T U R E R E P A I R K I T
Note : After use, the fl ask should be stored in a plastic container (provided in the kit), so as not to soil your vehicle with residues of the fl uid.

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, disengaging 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 alloy wheels).
3. Turn the pinion anti-clockwise to draw in the cable. 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.

REMOVING A WHEEL
1. Park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground. Apply the parking brake.
Switch off the ignition, check that the parking brake is applied (message and warning lamp in the instrument panel) and engage fi rst gear or reverse gear depending on the slope (P if an automatic gearbox, D or R if a 6-speed electronic gearbox).
2. Use a chock to secure the vehicle more safely. Place the chock in front of the wheel that is opposite the wheel affected.
3. Detach the trim using the removing tool 4, pulling in the area of the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels, insert the trim removing tool 1into the recess in the central trim and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels that have visible bolts, remove the chromes covers using the tool 2.
Before any operation of this sort, it is advisable to deactivate your pneumatic suspension (see “Pneumatic sus-pension”). When changing a wheel, it is essential to immobil ise the vehicle on ground that is level, stable and non-slippery.
4. Slacken the wheel bolts. For vehicles with alloy wheels, undo the anti-theft bolts using tool 9.
5. Position the jack under the vehicle (see diagrams), at the jacking point A closest to the wheel to be changed.
6. Unwind the jack 5 until its bracket is in contact with the ground. Make sure that the jack is vertical under the jacking point used.
7. Continue to extend the jack so as to raise the vehicle.
8. Undo the wheel bolts and remove the wheel.

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.

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.

VITowing with all wheels on the ground
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.
