Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.ASR / DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components and
the assembly and repair procedures used
by CITROËN dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger’s chest, thus
improving their protection.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
Safety

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the 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 pressure of one or more
tyres.
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.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the
warning lamp, 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 carry out 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
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
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 assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.Before doing anything to the system,
the pressure of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Speed limiter
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
Once the speed limit is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20

mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the set speed, simply slow down to
a speed below the programmed speed.
The set speed remains in the system memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot in any
circumstances replace the need to respect
speed limits, or the vigilance of the driver.

Towing the vehicle
Access to the tools
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is greater than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery ser vice:
-

fast road,
-

-

w
hen it is not possible to put the

-

t

ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.Towing your vehicle
F On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing on its left side.
The towing eye is installed in the boot under
t h e f l o o r.
To gain access to it:
F

F

R

emove the towing eye from the holder. F

S

a stop.
F

I
nstall the towbar.With a manual gearbox: place the gear
lever in neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position N .
Failure to follow this instruction may cause
damage to some components (braking,
powertrain, etc.) and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
restarted.
