2011 Citroen DS4 inflation pressure

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.

Temporary puncture repair kit

Complete system consisting of a compressor
and a sealant car tridge which permits
temporary repair
of a tyre so that you can
drive to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.



Access to the kit


The speed limit sticker I
must be affixed
to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind
you that a wheel is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.



Description of the kit



A.
"Sealant" or "Air" position selector.

B.
On "I"
/of f "O"
switch.

C.
Deflation button.

D.
Pressure gauge (in bar or p.s.i.).

E.
Compar tment housing:


- a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,

- various inflation adaptors for
accessories, such as balls, bicycle
tyres...
F.
Sealant car tridge.

G.
White pipe with cap for repair.

H.
Black pipe for inflation.

I.
Speed limit sticker.
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.

)
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B
to position "I"
until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under
pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from
the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap back on
the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle
with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.

)
Drive immediately for approximately three
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 15 and 35 mph [20 and
60 km/h]), to plug the puncture.

)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.

Do not star t the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: the sealant product would be
expelled through the pipe.



Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection

If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.


If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

287Technical data

















Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the engine mounting.

B. Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar. Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18
tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the
manufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
