Driving safely


TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving, and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction (speed greater
than approx.15 mph [25 km/h]) or
puncture.
An outline representing one or more
wheels fl ashing indicates the location
of the wheel or wheels concerned.

Flat tyre

The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "Tyre(s)
defl ated"
, an outline on the display,
and an audible signal.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible. If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored in the boot, it will again emit
this message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This will
prevent another warning of the same
type being displayed.


Sensor(s) not detected

The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "X tyre
pressure sensor(s) missing"
, an
outline on the display and an audible
signal.
Under-infl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) tyre(s). Consult a
CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty
sensor(s). This message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away
from the vehicle (being repaired)
or when a wheel without a sensor is
fi tted.
All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of

the

vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.

This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the spare
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic
performance of the vehicle remains at
its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case
of arduous driving (heavy load, high
speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
frequency close to it.


Puncture

The STOP warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message
"Punctured tyre(s)"
, an outline on the
display and an audible signal.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.
