Under-inflation detection
System which continuously and automatically
checks the pressures of the four tyres after
switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres,
compared to the reference pressure registered
in the system. This reference pressure must be
reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system operates on condition that sensor
identifiers have first been memorised in the
system by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (for
example: wheels with "standard" tyres and
wheels with "winter" tyres).The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which 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 monthly and
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
The tyre pressures must be checked
with the tyres "cold" (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

Managing sets of wheels
and tyres
Selection of the other set of wheels and tyres is
done via the instrument panel screen, with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
After fitting the new set of wheels and
tyres, you should check and adjust the
tyre pressures to the values specified
on the tyre pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. The system automatically reinitialises
the reference pressure based on the
pressure in the new set (the under-
inflation detection warning lamp flashes
during the operation).
If you have had a second set of wheels and
tyres registered by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop, every time you change the
set of wheels (fitting a set of winter tyres, for
example), you must select the set you have just
fitted in the configuration menu.

TOTAL & CITROËN
TOTAL and CITROËN personnel combine their
talents to optimise the efficient use of energy and
reduce the impact on the environment.
The partnership between our two groups, which is on
an international scale, does not merely amount to the
supply and maintenance of vehicles to the public: our
positions as industrial leaders allow us to meet the
environmental challenges of today and of tomorrow.
To provide ecologically responsible mobility to
everyone is more than our driving force, it is our
passion.
Innovation is under way, the future of the
automobile depends on it; we will meet the
challenges t o g e t h e r.

Using a public charging point for normal charging
Some public charging points include a charging cable.
In this case, use the cable provided.
In Mode 3, regardless of the power of the charging point, charging will be limited to 16 A maximum. For more information on the charging times,
refer to the Motor and main battery section.
Several types of electrical socket may be available for charging your vehicle.
Before starting the charging procedure, use the table below to identify the correct type of socket and use the corresponding charging cable.

Checking levelsCheck all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Never do anything in the compartments
when the "Ready" lamp is on or when
your vehicle is being charged.
Take care when carrying out checks
in the front and rear compartments as
some parts of the compartments can
be very hot (risk of burns): wait at least
one hour after stopping the motor or the
end of the charging procedure before
carrying out any work.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the "MIN" and "MA X"
marks. If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
and/or the end of the charging cycle before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
12 V battery electrolyte
level
Remove the battery protective cover to check
this level.
For more information on the 12 V battery, refer
