To maintain the effectiveness of the "flat-blade" type of wiper blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapywater,
- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of wear.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must becarried 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 qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduousdriving conditions (heavy load, highspeed). 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 detectionsystem may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to thatused by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp andthe STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen identifying the wheelconcerned. )Stop immediately, avoiding any suddenmovement of the steering wheel and the brakes. ) Change the damaged wheel (puncturedor very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identi
fy 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).

)Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically eachtime the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
tra
jectory problem.
This is indicated by
flashing of thiswarning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the CITROËN assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the s
