Under-infl ation detection

This system continuously monitors the tyre
pressures and alerts you in the event of under-
inflation.

Blind spot sensors

In certain conditions, this system
detects the presence of a vehicle in
the blind spot. It informs you by means
of a warning lamp in the corresponding
door mirror.

When cleaning your car with a high
pressure jet wash, keep the end of the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
stickers.

Power steering
fixed. The power steering has a fault. Drive carefully at reduced speed.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.




Under-inflation


fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.

flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Ser vice warning lamp. The tyre pressure monitoring system
has a fault or no sensor is detected
on one of the wheels. Under-inflation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.




Directional
headlamps

has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Action/Observations






Foot on the brake
pedal


fixed. The brake pedal is not pressed. With an electronic gearbox, press the brake pedal to
start the engine (lever in position N
).
If you wish to release the parking brake without
pressing the brake pedal, this warning lamp will remain
on.

flashing. With an electronic gearbox, if you hold
the vehicle on a rising incline using
the accelerator for too long, the clutch
overheats. Use the brake pedal and/or the electric parking brake.




Airbags


temporarily. This lamp comes on for a few
seconds when you turn on the
ignition, then goes off. This lamp should go off when the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

fixed. One of the airbag or seat belt
pretensioner systems has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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


System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a
each tyres (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
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.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label (see the "Identification markings"
section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).

215Driving

Under-inflation alert


The loss of pressure detected does
not always lead to visible deformation
of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual
check.

This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.

The alert is maintained until the tyre
or tyres concerned is reinflated or
repaired.

The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.


Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.


In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment),
or


if you have a compressor, the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example,
check the four tyre pressures when cold,
or


if it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


Operating fault

The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination of the
"ser vice" warning lamp indicates a fault
with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Temporary puncture repair kit


Complete system consisting of a compressor
and a sealant cartridge 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"
/ off "O"
switch.

C.
Deflation button.

D.
Pressure gauge (in bar and 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 cartridge.

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 start 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.

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 suspension damper 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.
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 tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
