Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Under-inflation detection
System which continuously and automatically checks the pressures of the four tyres after switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres, compared to the reference pressure registered in the system.
This reference pressure must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system operates on condition that sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (for example: wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
