With the damaged wheel  
now under the vehicle floor,  
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 standing on its  
wheels, not supported by the jack.

P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M AT I O N  
Removing a wheel  
) Park the vehicle on level, stable  
and non-slippery ground. Apply  
the parking brake (a message  
and a warning lamp appear on  
the instrument panel).  
) Detach the trim using the remov-  
ing tool 4, pulling in the area of  
the valve.  
) Slacken the wheel bolts. For ve-  
hicles with alloy wheels, undo  
the security bolts using the secu-  
rity socket 6.  
) Position the jack under the vehi-  
cle, at the jacking point A closest  
to the wheel to be changed.  
) Unwind the jack 5 until its brack-  
et is in contact with the ground.  
Make sure that the jack is verti-  
cal under the jacking point used.  
For vehicles with alloy wheels,  
insert the trim removing tool 1

tion P if an automatic gearbox,  
D or R if a 6-speed electronic  
gearbox).  
) Use a chock to secure the vehi-  
cle more safely. Place the chock  
9 in front of the wheel that is op-  
posite the wheel affected.  
) Continue to extend the jack so  
as to raise the vehicle.  
) Undo the wheel bolts and re-  
move the wheel.

Temporary use spare wheel  
Fitting a wheel  
Spare wheel dimensions  
) Position the wheel with the aid of  
the centring guide 3.  
) Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then  
remove the centring guide 3.  
Position the 4th bolt.  
) Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, us-  
ing the wheelbrace 4.  
) Retract the jack 5 and disengage it.  
If your spare wheel has dimensions  
different from those of the standard  
vehicle wheels (identified by a la-  
bel), it is imperative to use the spare  
wheel only temporarily, to drive  
with caution, not to exceed 50 mph  
(80 km/h) and to have the tyre re-  
paired and the standard wheel refit-  
ted as soon as possible.  
) Tighten the wheel bolts, using  
the wheelbrace 4.  
) Ensure that the tyre pressure is  
Tyre pressures  
correct.  
If your vehicle is equipped with a  
spare wheel for temporary use only,  
when fitting this it is normal to ob-  
serve 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.  
These are indicated on the label  
on the front left-hand door pillar  
(see "Technical Data - Identification  
markings").  
Under-inflation detection  
Wheels with under-inflation detection  
have tyre pressure sensors. Have repairs  
to them carried out by a CITROËN dealer  
or a qualified workshop. The spare wheel  
does not have a sensor.  
When refitting the original wheel, en-  
sure that the wheel bolts and wash-  
ers are clean and in good condition.  
The wheel bolts are specific  
to each type of wheel.  
Security bolts (alloy wheels)  
Each wheel may be equipped with  
one security bolt (depending on the  
country of sale).  
If new wheels are fitted, check with  
your CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop that the wheel bolts are  
compatible with the new wheels.  
Make a note of the code number on  
the head of the security bolt sock-  
et. This will enable you to obtain a  
replacement security bolt socket  
from your dealer.  
To remove it:  
XI  
) remove its protective cover us-  
ing of the tool for removing the  
chrome covers 2.

12 V BATTERY  
Access to the battery  
Before doing any work  
Procedure for starting the engine  
using another battery or for charging  
your flat battery.  
Immobilise the vehicle: ap-  
ply the parking brake, put  
the gearbox in neutral*, then switch  
off the ignition.  
Check that all electrical equipment  
is switched off.  
Check that the battery posts and  
terminals are clean. If they are cov-  
ered with sulphate (white or green  
deposit), disconnect them and  
clean them.  
The presence of this label, in  
particularwiththeStop & Start  
system, indicates the use of  
a 12 V lead-acid battery with  
special technology and specification;  
the involvement of a CITROËN deal-  
er or a qualified workshop is essential  
when replacing or disconnecting the  
battery.  
The battery is located under the  
bonnet.  
For access to the (+) terminal:  
) Release the bonnet using the  
interior lever, then the exterior  
safety catch,  
) raise the bonnet and secure it  
with its stay,  
) lift the plastic cover for access to  
the (+) terminal.  
Batteries contain harmful  
substances such as sul-  
phuric acid and lead. They  
must be disposed of in accordance  
with regulations and must not, in  
any circumstances, be discarded  
with household waste.  
Take used cell batteries and vehi-  
cle batteries to an authorised col-  
lection point.  
After refitting the battery, the Stop &  
Start system will only be active after  
a continuous period of immobilisa-  
tion of the vehicle, a period which  
depends on the climatic conditions  
and the state of charge of the bat-  
tery (up to about 8 hours).

Starting using another  
battery  
Disconnecting the (+)  
terminal  
If the battery in your vehicle is flat,  
the engine can be started using a  
slave battery (external or in another  
vehicle) and jump leads.  
First ensure that the slave  
battery has a nominal volt-  
age of 12 V and a capac-  
ity at least equal to that of the flat  
battery.  
Do not try to start the engine by  
connecting a battery charger.  
) Connect the red lead to the (+)  
terminal of the flat battery A,  
then to the (+) terminal of the  
slave battery B.  
) Connect one end of the green or  
black lead to the (-) terminal of  
the slave battery B (or the earth  
point on the slave vehicle).  
) Raise the lever D fully to release  
the clamp E.  
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal  
when the engine is running.  
) Connect the other end to the  
earth point C on the broken-  
down vehicle.  
) Start the engine on the slave ve-  
hicle and leave the engine run-  
ning for a few minutes.  
) Operate the starter on the bro-  
ken-down vehicle and leave the  
engine running.  
Reconnecting the (+) terminal  
) Position the open clamp E of the  
cable on the positive post (+) of  
the battery.  
) Press down on the clamp to po-  
sition it correctly on the battery  
post.  
) Lock the clamp by lowering the  
lever D.  
If the engine does not start  
straight away, switch off the ig-  
nition and wait a few moments  
before trying again.  
XI  
) With the engine idling, discon-  
nect the jump leads in reverse  
order.  
Do not force the lever as locking  
will not be possible if the clamp is  
not positioned correctly; start the  
procedure again.

Charging the battery using  
a battery charger  
) Follow the instructions on use  
provided by the manufacturer of  
the charger.  
) Connect the red cable of the  
charger to the (+) post of the bat-  
tery, then the black cable to the  
(-) terminal.  
) Once charging is complete, dis-  
connect the charger cables in re-  
verse order.  
After any reconnection of the bat-  
tery, switch on the ignition and wait  
at least one minute before starting,  
to allow time for the initialisation of  
the electronic systems.  
By referring to the corresponding  
sections, you should set or initialise  
the following systems yourself:  
If the battery of your vehicle is flat  
or prior to taking the vehicle out of  
service for an extended period, you  
can charge the battery using a bat-  
tery charger.

Do not try to charge a frozen bat-  
tery; the battery must first be  
thawed out to avoid any risk of ex-  
plosion. If the battery has frozen,  
before charging, have it checked  
by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-  
fied workshop, who will ensure that  
the internal components have not  
been damaged and that the casing  
is not cracked, which would intro-  
duce the risk of a leak of toxic and  
corrosive acid.  
Check that there no error message  
or warning lamp comes on after  
switching on the ignition.  
However, if minor problems persist  
after carrying out these operations,  
contact a CITROËN dealer or a

battery.  
After the engine has stopped, you can  
still use functions such as the audio  
and telematics system, windscreen  
wipers, dipped beam headlamps,  
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum  
combined duration of thirty minutes.  
Once this period has elapsed, a  
message appears on the multi-func-  
tion screen indicating that the vehi-  
cle has switched to economy mode

braking components and the ab-  
sence of braking assistance the  
next time the engine is started.  
207  
 
P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M AT I O N  
General recommendations  
Observe the legislation in force in your country.  
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.  
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.  
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.  
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are pro-  
hibited.  
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.  
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:  
-
-
-
-
vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,  
when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake,  
towing with only two wheels on the ground,  
where there is no approved towing bar available...  
XI  
208  
 
P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M AT I O N  
Driving with a trailer places greater  
demands on the towing vehicle and  
the driver must take particular care.  
) To lower the engine speed, re-  
duce your speed.  
The maximum towed load on a long  
incline depends on the gradient and  
the ambient temperature.  
Towbar suitable for the attachment  
of a trailer with additional lighting  
and signalling.  
In all cases, keep a check on the  
coolant temperature.  
Driving advice  
Distribution of loads  
) Distribute the load in the trailer  
so that the heaviest items are as  
close as possible to the axle and  
the nose weight approaches the  
maximum permitted without ex-  
ceeding it.  
) If the warning lamp and  
the STOP warning lamp  
come on, stop the vehicle  
and switch off the engine  
as soon as possible.  
Air density decreases with altitude,  
thus reducing engine performance.  
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum  
towed load must be reduced by 10 %  
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.  
Braking  
Towing a trailer increases the brak-  
ing distance.  
To avoid overheating of the brakes  
on a long mountain type of descent,  
the use of engine braking is recom-  
mended.  
Refer to the "Technical Data" section  
for details of the weights and towed  
loads which apply to your vehicle.  
Your vehicle is primarily designed  
for transporting people and luggage,  
but it may also be used for towing a  
trailer.  
Tyres  
) Check the tyre pressures of the  
towing vehicle and of the trailer,  
observing the recommended  
pressures.  
We recommend the use of genuine  
CITROËN towbars and their har-  
nesses that have been tested and  
approved from the design stage  
of your vehicle, and that the fit-  
ting of the towbar is entrusted to  
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
If the towbar is not fitted by a  
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative  
that it is fitted in accordance with the  
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.  
Side wind  
) Take into account the increased  
sensitivity to side wind.  
Lighting  
) Check the electrical lighting and  
signalling on the trailer.  
XI  
Cooling  
Towing a trailer on a slope increases  
the temperature of the coolant.  
As the fan is electrically controlled,  
its cooling capacity is not dependent  
on the engine speed.  
The rear parking sensors will be  
deactivated automatically if a gen-  
uine CITROËN towbar is used.

ROOF BARS  
VERY COLD CLIMATE  
SCREEN*  
Maximum load, distributed  
over the roof bars (for a  
loading height not exceed-  
ing 40 cm, except bicycle carrier):  
80 kg.  
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt  
your speed to the profile of the road  
to avoid damaging the roof bars  
and the fixings on the roof.  
Please refer to national legislation  
in order to comply with the regula-  
tions concerning the transport of  
objects which are longer than the  
vehicle.  
For your safety and to avoid damage  
to the roof and tailgate, the design of  
your vehicle requires the use of roof  
bars and roof boxes that are tested  
and approved by CITROËN.  
Regardless of the type of load car-  
rier to be mounted on the roof (roof  
box, bicycle carrier, ski carrier...),  
you must fit transverse roof bars.  
Removable protective screen which  
prevents the accumulation of snow  
at the radiator cooling fan.  
Recommendations  
) Distribute the load evenly, avoid-  
ing overloading on one side.  
) Arrange the heaviest part of the  
load as close as possible to the  
roof.  
) Anchor the load securely and fit  
a warning flag part of it is over-  
hanging.  
) Drive gently, as the vehicle will  
be more liable to the effects of  
side winds (vehicle stability may  
be altered).  
Fitting  
Bicycle carrier  
) Offer up the very cold climate  
screen to the front of the lower  
section of the front bumper.  
) Press around its edge to engage  
its fixing clips one by one.

C4 Picasso 5-seater (all versions);  
C4 Picasso 7-seater version with  
opening rear screen.  
Removal  
) Use a screwdriver as a lever to  
release each fixing clip in turn.  
) Remove the roof bars as soon  
as they are no longer needed.  
XI  
Do not forget to remove the very  
cold climate screen:
