2012 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 tyre pressure

2. Infl ation )
Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.) Star t the vehicle again and leave the engine running.

)Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
;
to deflate: switch B in position "O"and press button C ), in accordance with the
vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on the
left hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop for assistance.)Remove and stow the kit.
)Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled toapproximately 120 miles (200 km).




As soon as possible, go to a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop.You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
)Turn the selector Ato the "air" position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel.

201Practical information

Removing the cartridge
)Stow the black pipe. )Detach the angled base from the white pipe.)Suppor t the compressor ver tically.)Unscrew the car tridge from the bottom.


Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the car tridge.
The sealant car tridge is designed for
single use; even if only partly used, itmust be replaced. After use, do not discard the car tridgeinto the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealantcartridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.

Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, withoutinjecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).

)
Turn the selector Ato the "Air"
position.
) Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.)
Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptorssupplied with the kit first.
) Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run. )
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
;
to deflate: switch B in position "O"and press button C), according to the vehicle's
tyre pressure label or the accessory'spressure label. ) Remove the kit then stow it.

227Practical information

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it isfitted in accordance with the vehiclemanufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the
fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
)If the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.

Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.



The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.



Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular care.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
R
efer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply toyour vehicle.

Identifi cation markings
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet.This number is engraved on the bodyworknear the damper support.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month.
The rear quarter light cannot be etchedas it is made of polycarbonate material.


If the tyre pressures are too low, thisincreases fuel consumption.

B.Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member.This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
C.Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroyinglabel affixed to the door aper ture, on the
passenger's side.
D.Tyre/paint label. This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the followin
g information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer,

- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.
The use of snow chains is onlyauthorised on the front wheels. The selector must be in 4WD mode.
