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.
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 (except the spare wheel).
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 the sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (e.g. wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) 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).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
For more information on Identification
markings
, refer to the corresponding
section.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are 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. 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.
F
I f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit, for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures immediately, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
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.

Four wheel drive system
System which permits the selection of a transmission mode in relation to the driving conditions.
Three transmission modes are available and can be selected manually by the driver in accordance with his requirements.
You can change transmission mode when
stationary or while driving.
The transmission mode can be selected by
turning the control A.
Selecting the transmission
mode
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel drive and
provides optimum traction for all levels of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the torque
between the front and rear axles is controlled
automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels is
managed electronically by the control unit
in relation to the level of grip, so providing
optimum road holding.
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel drive in
this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or difficult (sand, mud, slopes,
...).
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two wheel drive.
This is suitable for use on a tarmac roads or
where the driver considers that there is no risk
of loss of grip (dry road).
Display in the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in the
form of an intermittent display in the instrument
panel screen when the transmission mode is
selected.The selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of grip
permits.

C4-Aircross_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
As the engine torque is applied to all
four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on the
per formance of the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or
muddy areas or in other areas in which
the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through deep
water.
Avoid driving over excessively uneven
terrain (risk of scraping under the body
or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD" transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the display to clear before
setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternately
and if "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.
The vehicle must not be towed with the
front or rear wheels on the ground even
if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)
mode.If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

Fitting the wheel
After changing a wheel
When using the "space-saving" spare
wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted on the vehicle as soon as
possible.
List of operations
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F T ighten the bolts fully by hand.

P
re-tighten the anti-theft bolt using the
wheelbrace 1 fitted with the anti-theft
socket 5 (if your vehicle has one).

P
re-tighten the other bolts using only the
wheelbrace 1 .
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit your vehicle with snow tyres
fitted on steel rims, it is essential to use
special bolts available from CITROËN
dealers or a qualified workshop.
If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.
