CHANGING A WHEEL
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, disen-
gaging the linking plate in the centre of the wheel.
STOWING THE AFFECTED WHEEL
1. It is essential to orient the valve upwards.
2. Pass the linking plate through the centre of the
wheel (first 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 floor 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 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 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.
