General safety recommendations
Labels are attached in different places of
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
as well as identification information of your
vehicle. Do not remove them: they are an
integral part of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a
CITROËN dealer is able to
provide. We draw your attention to the following
points:
-
T
he fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not listed by
CITROËN
may cause excessive current
consumption and faults and failures
with the electrical system of your
vehicle. Contact a
CITROËN dealer
for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-
A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reserved strictly for
CITROËN dealers
or qualified workshops equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-
A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by
CITROËN
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined
by the manufacturer will result in
the suspension of the legal and
contractual warranties. Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a
CITROËN
dealer for the specification of transmitters
which can be fitted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.

Tyre under-inflation detection
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.Under-inflation alert
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part 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 worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done 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, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the light,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F I f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.

Reinitialisation
Without audio systemWith audio systemIt is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
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 alert can only be
relied on if the reinitialisation of the
system has been done with the pressures
in the four tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation. F
O pen the glove box.
F
H
old this button down.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by a low-pitched
audible signal.
A high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been done.
The new pressure parameters saved are
considered by the system as values of
reference. F
