The system may be affected from time to time by interference from radio transmissions on similar frequencies.
This function alerts you in the e v e n t o f a t y r e b e i n g d e fl a t e d o r punctured. For this purpose, sen-sors continuously monitor the con-dition of the vehicle’s wheels.
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures regularly.

The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a ve-hicle outline is displayed, accompanied by a mes-sage and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned w i l l b e s h o w n fl a s h i n g o n t h e v e h i c l e outline. Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.

The STOP warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is displayed, ac-companied by a mes-sage and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned w i l l b e s h o w n fl a s h i n g o n t h e v e h i -cle outline. Stop the vehicle imme-diately, avoiding any violent actions on the steering wheel or brakes.
Puncture
Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substan- t i a l l y d e fl a t e d ) , h a v e t h e t y r e r e -paired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pressures as soon as you can after that.
The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is in the boot or undergoing re-pair. The spare wheel is not moni-tored by the alert system.
The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is dis-played, accompanied by a message and a sound signal. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown as ab-sent on the vehicle outline. If you have not changed a wheel, this in-formation indicates a malfunction-ing of the system.
Consult the CITROËN network to have the defective sensor(s) re-placed.
Wheel not monitored
T h e d e fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s t e m i s a driving assistance function which does not relieve the driver from the responsibility to be vigilant.
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre pressures on a regular basis ( s e e “ V e h i c l e i d e n t i fi c a t i o n " ) , t o ensure that the vehicle behaves as it should and to avoid prema-ture wear on the tyres, especially when the vehicle is being subject-ed to heavy loads or driven at high speeds.
Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel.
