Parking brake
Applying
F Pull the parking brake lever fully up to immobilise your vehicle.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels against the kerb, apply the
parking brake, place the drive selector
in position P and switch off the ignition.
Releasing
F Pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the release button then lower the
lever fully.
When the vehicle is being driven, if
the parking brake is still on or has
not been fully released, this warning
lamp comes on.

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.
Driving

94
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.

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.

95
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.

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.

Practical information

100
This type of control unit that has a system for
recognising the type of power point (depending
on country). It detects the power rating of your
domestic power point and is able to support
and select the best current rating to ensure
safe charging:
-
14
A (FAST): if your electrical installation
supports it.
-

8 A
(NORMAL): if your electrical
installation is standard. As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It will
then be necessary to disconnect and
reconnect the charging cable plug to
continue charging.
The charge lamp in the instrument panel going
off and flashing of the green CHARGING lamp
indicate that charging is complete.

While charging, do not do anything
under the bonnet, even with the ignition
off, as the cooling fan may start at any
time (risk of injury).
You must wait for at least one hour
after the end of the charging procedure
before doing anything under the bonnet,
as some areas may be extremely hot
(risk of burns).

Never charge the battery without
first disconnecting the terminals and
removing it from the vehicle.
Do not disconnect the terminals when
the "Ready" lamp is on, nor when the
vehicle is being charged.
Before disconnecting
You must wait 2 minutes after switching
off the ignition before disconnecting the
battery.Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in line with legal
requirements and never put out with
household waste.
Take used batteries to an authorised

After reconnecting
After reconnecting the battery, switch

before starting, to allow initialisation
of the electronic systems. However,
if minor problems persist after doing
this, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Remember to reinitialise the audio
system yourself.
Ensure that the battery terminals
are clean. If they are covered with
sulphates (whitish or greenish deposit),
disconnect and clean them.
