Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,  once  the  vehicle  is  moving.
It
 compares  the  information  given  by  the  four Â
w
heel  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 Â
d
etects  a  drop  in  the  inflation  pressure  of  one Â
o
r  more  tyres. The
 under-inflation  detection  system Â
d
oes  not  replace  the  need  for  vigilance Â
o
n  the  part  of  the  driver.
This
 system  does  not  avoid  the  need  to Â
c
heck  the  tyre  pressures  (including  the Â
s
pare  wheel)  every  month  as  well  as Â
b
efore  a  long  journey.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres  impairs Â
r
oad  holding,  extends  braking  distances Â
a
nd  causes  premature  tyre  wear, Â
p
articularly  under  arduous  condition Â
(
high  loading,  high  speed,  long  journey).
System
 which  automatically  checks  the  pressures  of  the  tyres  while  driving.
The  inflation  pressures  defined  for Â
y
our  vehicle  can  be  found  on  the  tyre Â
p
ressure  label.
For
 more  information  on  the Â
i
dentification  markings,  refer  to  the Â
c
orresponding
 s
ection.
Tyre
 pressures  should  be  checked Â
w
hen  the  tyres  are  "cold"  (vehicle Â
s
topped  for  1  hour  or  after  a  journey  of Â
l
ess  than  6  miles  (10  km)  at  moderate Â
s
peeds).
Other wise
 (when  hot),  add  0.3  bar  to Â
t
he  pressures  shown  on  the  label.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres Â
i
ncreases  fuel  consumption.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
 for  the  use  of  the  vehicle  and  in Â
l

t

The
 under-inflation  alert  can  only Â

t
he  system  has  been  done  with  the Â
p
ressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The
 under-inflation  detection  system Â
d

i
ncorrect  at  the  time  of  reinitialisation.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel  filler  neck  of  your  Diesel  vehicle,  it  comes Â
i
nto  contact  with  the  flap.  The  system  remains Â
c

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
*
 Depending  on  the  country  of  sale.
Mechanical
 device  which  prevents  filling  the  tank  of  a  Diesel  vehicle  with  petrol.  It  avoids  the  risk  of Â
e
ngine  damage  that  can  result  from  filling  with  the  wrong  fuel.
It  remains  possible  to  use  a  fuel  can  to Â
f
ill  the  tank.
In  order  to  ensure  a  good  flow  of  fuel, Â
d
o  not  place  the  nozzle  of  the  fuel  can Â
i
n  direct  contact  with  the  flap  of  the Â
m
isfuel  prevention  device  and  pour Â
s
l ow l y.Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may b
e  different  in  other  countries,  the Â
p
resence  of  the  misfuel  prevention Â
d
evice  may  make  refuelling  impossible.
Before
 travelling  abroad,  we Â
r
ecommend  that  you  check  with  the Â
C
ITROËN  dealer  network,  whether  your Â
v
ehicle  is  suitable  for  the  fuel  pumps  in Â
t
