tyre pressure CITROEN RELAY 2014 Handbook (in English)

20

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom of
the boot, as close as possible to the rear
seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof
box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.


Limit the causes of excess
consumption


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres
on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
consumption settle down to a consistent
average.

Driving safely
SAFETY
HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum
braking pressure to be reached more quickly,
press the pedal fi rmly without releasing it.

It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to steer the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved. If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake warning
lamp, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Towing a trailer

Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.


Good practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.

Changing a wheel



6. REFITTING THE REPAIRED WHEEL

Refitting of the wheel is identical to step 5,
do not forget to refit the wheel trim.
Refer to the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 9 to locate the tyre
label.
The spare wheel is not designed to be used
over long distances. Have the tightening of
the bolts and pressure of the spare wheel
checked by a CITROËN dealer without
delay.
Also, have the original wheel repaired and
refitted by a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.


5. FITTING THE SPARE WHEEL



- Put the wheel in place on the hub and
start screwing in the bolts by hand.

- Carry out an initial tightening of the bolts
using the wheelbrace E
.

- Lower the vehicle completely by folding
the jack, then remove the jack.

- Tighten the bolts again using the
wheelbrace E
, tighten them fully without
forcing them.

- Stow the wheel to be repaired at the
rear of the vehicle.
- Hook the support H
and screw in the
handle G
.

- Insert the socket A
in the hole then
screw in the bolt, using the ratchet
wrench B
, to raise the wheel.

- Stow the tools and the trim.
Never go underneath a vehicle
supported only by a jack (use an axle
stand).
The jack and the tool kit are specific to your
vehicle. Do not use them for other purposes.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
Procedure



- Apply the parking brake. Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, remove the filling hose B
and screw the ring E
onto the tyre valve,
- start the engine,

- insert the connector G
into the nearest
power socket on the vehicle,

- switch on the compressor by placing the
switch F
in position I
(on),

- inflate the tyre to a pressure of 4 bars.
To obtain a more accurate reading, you are
advised to check the pressure value on the
pressure gauge H
, with the compressor off.

- check that the switch F
on the
compressor is in position 0 (off), This temporary puncture repair kit is located
at the front of the passenger compartment.
It consists of:


- a cartridge A
, containing the sealant
fluid, equipped with:


●
a filling hose B
,

●
a sticker C
indicating "max. 80 km/h",
which the driver must affix in full view
(on the dashboard) after repairing the
tyre,

- a quick guide to use of the repair kit,

- a compressor D
equipped with a
pressure gauge and unions,

- adaptors, for the inflation of various
items.

Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 5 minutes, disconnect
the compressor from the valve and the
power socket, then move the vehicle
forward by approximately 10 metres to
distribute the sealant fluid inside the
tyre.

- Then repeat the inflating operation:


●
if a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes, switch off
your vehicle: the tyre has suffered
too much damage and repair has not
been possible. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

●
if the tyre has been inflated to a
pressure of 4 bars
, set off again
immediately.

After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Adjust the pressure if necessary and contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Checking and adjusting the pressure

The compressor can only be used to check
and adjust the pressure.


- Disconnect the hose I
and connect it to
the tyre valve directly; the cartridge will
then be connected to the compressor
and the filling fluid will not be injected.
If it is necessary to deflate the tyre, connect
the hose I
to the tyre valve and press the
yellow button, placed in the centre of the
switch on the compressor.


Replacing the sealant fluid cartridge

To replace the cartridge, carry out the
following operations:


- disconnect the hose I
,

- turn the cartridge to be replaced
anticlockwise and lift it,

- insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise,

- reconnect the hose I
and connect the
hose B
in its location.


The cartridge contains ethylene-glycol,
a product which is harmful if swallowed
and which causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the cartridge in the
environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer
or to an organisation responsible for its
collection.
This replacement kit is available from
CITROËN dealers.
