Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Under-inflation Fixed, accompanied
by and audible signal
and a message. One or more wheels has
insufficient pressure.
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 adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or more
wheels.
For more information on Under-inflation detection
,
refer to the corresponding section.
or Flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning light.
The system has a fault: tyre
pressures are no longer
monitored. As soon as possible, check the pressure of the tyres.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-lock
Braking System
(ABS) Fixed.
The anti-lock braking system
has a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without
d e l ay.

Instruments

74
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.

educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.

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.

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

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

a sound signal and a message
confirm the reset operation.
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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning light accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning light
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer provided.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressure of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

After a tyre repair, the warning
light will remain on until the
system is reset.
For more information on Tyre under-
inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

Identification markings
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the passenger compartment filter.
B Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
The number is recorded on a label, visible
through the windscreen.
C Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the centre pillar on
the driver’s side.
It bears the following information:
-

T

he tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions.
-

T

he tyre sizes.
-

T

he spare tyre inflation pressure.
-

T

he paint colour code. Low tyre pressure introduces the risk of a
burst tyre.
D
Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the lower part
of the right hand centre pillar. Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10

minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm. In this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
