top as soon as it is safe to do so. 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 inflation, 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.
The spare wheel does not have
a sensor, so there is no need to
reinitialise the system for driving with
the spare wheel fitted.

wheel (depending on equipment).
Reinitialising the reference
pressure
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and are as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.

ress and hold the INFO button for at least
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. The under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by
the display of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed if:
-

a
t least one wheel is not fitted with a
sensor (spare wheel in use),
-

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 wheels,
-

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. Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked
or, after a puncture, to have the original
wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.

Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, whose frequency
increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
Below a certain distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on to
confirm that the system is active.
The system is deactivated when you come out
of reverse gear.

Front parking sensors
Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CVT
gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
This supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
These bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.

Advice on driving when towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towing load must
be reduced by 10
% of the GTW and so on for
every 1
000 metres of altitude.
For more information on Petrol weights or
Diesel weights and in particular the towed
loads which apply to your vehicle, refer to the
corresponding section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long slope
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this message is displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To limit heat build-up in the brakes, use of the
engine brake is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the lighting and signalling on the trailer and the adjustment of the vehicle's
headlamps.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
If the message flashes slowly, wait for the
engine to cool before topping up the level, if
necessary.
If the message flashes rapidly, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically when a
genuine CITROËN towbar is used.
