When you enter the vehicle, the
temperature inside the vehicle
may be much colder (or warmer)
than a comfortable temperature.
There is no point in modifying
the displayed temperature to
try to attain the desired level of
comfort. The system operates
automatically to compensate this
temperature discrepancy as rap-
idly as possible.
When starting the engine from
cold, in order to avoid distributing
too much cold air, the blower will
attain its optimum level gradually.

system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
t u r e d o r v e r y d e fl a t e d t y r e ) , a n d
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or
indicating a fault in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
