Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of the tyres while driving. Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
Puncture
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOP warning lamp comes on and/or this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the screen identifying the wheel concerned.
 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

173Safety
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to the "Identification markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system.
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted. If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle, as soon as this presents a potential danger.
Operation
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to ass es the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before de ciding whether to change lane. The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
 On switching on the ignition, or engine running, press this button to activate the function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers monitor obscured zones in the driver's field of vision.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the side in question: - immediately, when being over taken, - after a delay of one second, when over taking another vehicle too slowly.

211Driving
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the button flashes then goes off. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The system may suffer temporary inter ference in cer tain weather conditions (rain, hail...). In par ticular, driving on a wet sur face or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false aler ts (the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle). In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow. Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors with adhesive labels or other objects. Do not stick labels or attach objects
to the front and rear bumpers; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
 To deactivate the system, press this button again; the warning lamp goes off. The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by CITROËN.

217Driving
Parking space sensors
System which measures the parking space available between two vehicles or obstacles. It measures the size of the space and gives you information on: - the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring, - the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to be per formed. The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel You have identified a parking space:  Press button A to select the function.  Operate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed to confirm that measurement is in progress.  During measurement, go for ward the length of the space, at a speed less than 12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre.  Once the measurement has been completed, the system informs you of the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
Operation
The parking space sensor function warning lamp can have two different states:
- on fixed: the function is selected by a press on control A . - off: the function is not selected,

The function displays the following types of message: The function deselects itself automatically: - when you engage reverse gear, - when you switch off the ignition, - if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of selection of the function, - if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is too large, the system may not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession. In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow. The parking space sensor system deactivates the front parking sensors when measuring for wards.

Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If there is a fault, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensors located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal. The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located. When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than approximately thir ty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

Operating fault
If an operating fault occurs, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep). Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h). The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind. The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dir ty. When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on. Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under the floor. Depending on version, the spare wheel may be a standard size steel or alloy wheel, or for some countries it is the "space saver" type. For access to the spare wheel, refer to the paragraph "Access to the tools" on the previous page.
