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.

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the reinflation, repair or replacement
of the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Reinitialising the reference
pressure
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.

The under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
The reinitialisation instruction is entered in
the instrument panel screen screen, with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.

3
seconds
to reinitialise the under-inflation
detection system.
Reinitialisation of the system is confirmed
by the flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
You then have to drive about 100 metres before
the warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed if:
-
o
ne or more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor.
-
a w
ireless device operating on the same
frequency is close to the vehicle.
-
t
here are accumulations of snow or ice in
the wings or in the wheel rims.
-
t
he state of charge of the tyre pressure
monitoring system battery is too low.
-
t
he wheel sensor identifiers have not been
memorised in the system by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you fit the second set of tyres
memorised in the system, a fault will
be signalled until the second set is
selected in the configuration menu.

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

In most European countries, CITROËN
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can check and
bring your electrical installation up to
standard. For more information, contact
a CITROËN dealer. In the event of damage to or
deterioration of the charging cable or
control unit, do not use it. Contact a
CITROËN dealer if in doubt or for a
replacement. You must always use only a genuine
CITROËN charging cable.
Before connecting, check that the
electrical installation you want to use
meets standards* and is compatible
with the rating of your charging unit.
If in doubt, call upon a professional
installer.
There are sockets available that are
specially designed for charging electric
vehicles.
For sockets dedicated to charging an
electric vehicle, refer to the installation
instructions for the socket.
In all cases, it is recommended that
that you first have an initial check
and then regular checks
carried out
on your installation by a qualified
electrician.
* For example, in France the standard is NF C 15 -100. must not stay inside the vehicle or near
the vehicle, charging cable, charging
unit or charging point, even for a short
time.
It is also important that you take advice
from your doctor on the precautions to
take and observe.
There are two types of charging you can use:
normal or fast.
Normal charging should be favoured; it is done
from a domestic mains power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charging station.
