Removing A Wheel - CITROËN C4 PICASSO Handbook

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
For greater safety, place the chock 2
against the wheel opposite to the one
being changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
supported by a jack; use an axle stand.
* Position P for an automatic gearbox.
List of operations
F Remove the wheel bolt cover(s) using the
tool 4 (depending on equipment).
F Fit the security socket 5 on the
wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt
(if fitted).
F Slacken the other bolts (no more than a
1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 only.
Do not use:
- the jack for any purpose other than
lifting the vehicle,
- any other jack than the one
supplied by the manufacturer.
In the event of a breakdown
F Place the foot of the jack 3 on the ground
and check that it is directly below the
front A or rear B jacking point provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack
may slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only
at one of the jacking points A or B
under the vehicle, making sure that the
vehicle's contact surface is centred on
the head of the jack. Otherwise there is
a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of
the jack dropping - Risk of injury!
