Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.

excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so. F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare

or
F

i

f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i

f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.The new pressure settings registered
are considered to be reference values
by the system.

indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is
reached, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t the
engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
Diesel misfuel
prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.

Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels available at the pumps which meet
current and future European standards:
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN 14214,
-

D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
10
% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
-

P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard
EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
However, this use, even occasional, requires
strict application of the special servicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
Only the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
the standard B715000 is authorised.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device.Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to
the front wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly when towing, refer
to the corresponding section.
