fixed. One of the airbag or seat belt pretensioner systems has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of the tyres while driving. Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
Puncture
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOP warning lamp comes on and/or this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the screen identifying the wheel concerned.
 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

173Safety
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to the "Identification markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system.
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted. If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations: - anti-lock braking system (ABS), - electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), - emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, in par ticular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of wheel lock. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP and ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

175Safety
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control . This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control takes over from the ASR system, limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains. In extremely severe conditions (snow on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.

Temporary puncture repair kit
and a sealant car tridge which permits temporar y repair of a tyre so that you can pairdrive to the nearest garage. It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or shoulder.
Access to the kit
The speed limit sticker I must be affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporary use. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired using this type of kit.
Description of the kit
A. "Sealant" or "Air" position selector. B. On "I" /off "O" switch. C. Deflation button. D. Pressure gauge (in bar or p.s.i.). E. Compar tment housing: - a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket, - various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres...
F. Sealant car tridge. G. White pipe with cap for repair. H. Black pipe for inflation. I. Speed limit sticker.
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the boot floor.

Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of splashing).
 Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.  Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug the puncture.  Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
