2012 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 detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant 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
si
gnal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOPwarning 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.

177Safety

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 s
ystem.
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 aqualified 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 needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to the "Identificationmarkings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performanceof the vehicle is maintained andprevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly 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 thatused by the system.

This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when oneor 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
and a sealant car tridge which permits
temporary repair of a tyre so that you can rdrive 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 Imust be affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporaryuse.
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"/off "O"
switch. C.
Deflation button. D.Pressure gauge (in bar or p.s.i.).
E.Compartment housing:


- a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,

- various in
flation adaptors for
accessories, such as balls, bicycle
tyres...F
.Sealant cartridge.G. White pipe with cap for repair.
H. Black pipe for inflation.I.
Speed limit sticker.
This kit is installed in the stora
ge box, under the boot floor.

)Switch on the compressor by movingthe switch Bto 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 o
f 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 beforeconnecting the white pipe to the tyrevalve: the sealant product would beexpelled through the pipe.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflationwarning 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 thepressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.

291Technical 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 R18tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.For more information, contact a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop.

Low tyre pressures increase fuelconsumption.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month. C. Manufacturer's label
.The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying labelaffixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the
following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and ladenconditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by themanufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
