(Diesel) fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.
This indicates that the particle
emissions filter is starting to become
saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the
filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off (see the "Checks

an audible signal. This indicates the low level of the
additive reservoir. Have the reservoir topped up as soon as possible by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (see the
"Checks -

Under-inflation fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low.
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 the adjustment
of one or more tyre pressures and after changing one
or more wheels.

Monitoring

C3_en_Chap08_Securite_ed01-2014
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on 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. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility 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 impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
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 (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

top the vehicle 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 satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
a

label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.
be

fore 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 detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Operating fault
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 lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
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.
The new pressure settings registered are
considered to be reference values by the
system. The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
be

fore doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
