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

The alert is maintained until the system is r einitialised.
The

yourself
with

a
visual
c
heck. Before
reinitialising the system, ensure
t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle, as
given on the tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
d
oes not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
a
fter changing one or more wheels.

The system does not have to be r
einitialised after fitting or removing
sn
ow
c
hains. Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be c
hecked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert is only
d
ependable if the system has been
r
einitialised with all four tyres inflated to
t
he correct pressures.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the u
nder-inflation w arning lam p a ccompanied b
y illumination of the Service warning lamp
i
ndicates a fault with the system.
In
this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
t
yres is no longer assured.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
