inflation pressure CITROEN RELAY 2017 Handbook (in English)

34EMISSIOnS cOntrOLS
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards on emissions
limits of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-


HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-


NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected by

oxygen sensors placed downstream of
the catalytic converters,
-

particles.

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have it
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To locate it, refer to the "Technical
data
- Identification markings" section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding, extends
braking distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long
journey).
Instruments and controls

35under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering

movements or harsh brake applications.
-

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-


In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).
-

In the event of under-inflation:
●


if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,


or
●

if it is not possible to check the

tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go
to the nearest CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The loss of pressure detected does
not always lead to visible deformation
of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or


tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop

to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

The rear seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, solid with the seat back.
A carrier is provided at each outer seat to
allow the seat belt buckle to be secured
when not in use.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the seat belt
straps to fit loosely.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
The airbag warning lamp also
comes on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact
Only for the front seats, and depending on
the nature and seriousness of the impact,
the pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of inflation of the
airbags. It instantly tightens the seat belts
against the body of the occupants.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioners are active
when the ignition is switched on and the
seat belt fastened.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.

- Apply the parking brake.
-
Unscrew the tyre valve cap, remove the

filling hose B and screw the ring E onto
the 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 5 bar
.
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 stowed
in a bag located in one of the front door
pockets.
It consists of:
-

a cartridge

A , containing the sealant
fluid, equipped with:
●

a filling hose

B ,
●

a sticker

c
indicating "max. 80

-

a quick guide to use of the repair kit,
-

- If a pressure of at least 3 bar 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 inflation operation:
●


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

if the tyre has been inflated to a

pressure of 5 bar, set off again
immediately.
After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Adjust the pressure to the value given on the
label on the driver's door pillar, and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
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 cartridge
To replace the sealant 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
an appropriate waste disposal organisation.
This puncture repair kit and
replacement cartridges are available
from CITROËN dealers.
