Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures of
the tyres when driving and alerts you in the event of
under-inflation.
Exterior
Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit is a complete system consisting of a compressor and
a sealant cartridge, to allow the temporary repair of a tyre.
Rear parking sensors
This system provides a warning when manoeuvring
backwards by detecting obstacles located behind
the
vehicle.

Braking fixed. The brake fluid level has dropped
significantly. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fluid listed by CITROËN.
If the problem persists, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
+ fixed, associated
with the ABS warning
lamp.The electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) system has a fault.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Maximum
coolant
temperature fixed red.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low.
Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after the adjustment
of one or more tyre pressures and after changing one
or more wheels.
For more information, refer to the "Under-inflation
detection" section.
+ flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning lamp.The system has fault: the tyre
pressures are no longer monitored.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Monitoring

C-Elysee_en_Chap07_securite_ed01-2014
Under-inflation detection
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

speed.

n the event of a puncture, use the

Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.

Reinitialisation of the system is done using the

and the vehicle stationary .

Reinitialisation is confirmed by an low-pitched
audible signal.
A high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been done.
The audible signal is accompanied by a
message, if your vehicle has a display screen.
The new pressure settings registered are
considered to be reference values by the
system.
Operating fault
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
