Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl 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.

Safety
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 malfunction 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.

215Driving
Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger a
warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking
(speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation
)
Press this button, the indicator lamp comes
on.
The lane depar ture warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the par t of the driver.
Deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking
(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Detection
Operating fault
The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dir ty (mud,
snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are
worn,
- if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface.
)
Press this button again, the indicator lamp
goes off.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. In the event of a malfunction,
the ser vice warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
Operation
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to asses the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
)
On switching on the ignition, or engine
running, press this button to activate the
function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots. A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
- immediately, when being overtaken,
- after a delay of about one second, when
over taking a vehicle slowly.
Page 220 of 396
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions(rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false aler ts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning
zone in the door mirrors or the
detection zones on the front and rear
bumpers with adhesive labels or other
objects; they may hamper the correct
operation of the system.
)
To deactivate the system, press this button
again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing with a towbar
approved by CITROËN.

Parking space sensors
System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles.
It measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,
- the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel
You have identified a parking space:
)
Press button A
to select the function.
)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed to confirm that
measurement is in progress.
)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
Operation
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have two different
states:
- on fixed:
the function is selected by a
press on control A
.
