Colour screen CNaviDrive colour display
The defl ation detection system is a driving aid, but which does not absolve the driver from the need to be vigilant andresponsible.
This system does not remove the need to check the tyres on a regular basis (see "Vehicle identifi cation"), to makesure that the vehicle is behaving correctly and to avoid premature tyre wear arising from driving too fast etc.
Do not forget to check the pressure in the spare wheel.
All repairs or replacement of tyres on wheels fi tted with sensors must be done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The system may suffer from temporary interference caused by radio transmissions on neighbouringfrequencies.
