Te m p o r a ry puncture repair
kit
This kit is a complete system, consisting of acompressor and a sealant car tridge, for the
temporary repair of a tyre.

Under-inflation detection

This system continuously monitors thepressures in the tyres and aler ts you in theevent of an under-inflated tyre.


Blind spot sensors

In cer tain driving conditions, this system
detects the presence of vehicles in the blind
spots. You are aler ted by the illumination of a
warning lamp in the corresponding mirror.

Familiarisation

Limit the causes of excess consumption


Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations on
maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label inthe door aperture, driver's side. Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle toavoid any over flow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down toa consistent average.

Monitoring
StateCauseAction / Observations
Service
on temporarily. A minor fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by means of the associated message, such as:


- opening of a door, the boot or bonnet,

- low engine oil level,

- low screenwash/headlamp wash fluid level,

-
discharged remote control battery,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the par ticle emission filter (PEF) on
Diesel vehicles.
For more information on the PEF, refer to the
"Checks - par ticle emissions filter" section.
For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

This check should preferably be carried out when the

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The system continuously monitors thepressures on the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever
y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed. The system triggers an aler t as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need tocheck the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairsroad holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,particularly under arduous condition(high loading, high speed, long journey). S
ystem which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyrepressure label (see the "Identificationmarkings" section). Tyre pressures should be checkedwhen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderatespeeds). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyresincreases fuel consumption.

Safety

Under-inflation alert
Reinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied byan audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
A label reminds you of the need to reinitialise
the system every time one or more tyre
pressure is adjusted, and after changing one or
more wheels.
)Reduce speed immediately, avoidexcessive steering movements and sudden
braking .)Stop the vehicle 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 (depending on equipment),or ) if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold, or )
if it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.



The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check. The aler t is maintained until the system is reinitialised.

226
Safety


Reinitialisation of the system is done with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
From the secondary page of the " Drivingassistance" menu:
)Press " Under-inflation initialisation".
)
Confirm the instruction by pressing "Yes".


The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the
system.


Operating fault

The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the "ser vice" warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitorin
g of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Before doing anything to the system,the pressures of the four tyres must bechecked and the system reinitialised.

The under-inflation aler t can only beconsidered reliable if reinitialisation of the system is done with the the four tyrepressures correctly set.



Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removingsnow chains.


Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres arecorrect for the use of the vehicle and inline with the recommendations on thetyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection systemdoes not give a warning if a pressure isincorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Safety
Intelligent traction control
s
ystem ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on,coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force distribution(EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

Operation
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations
, the intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory controlfor your vehicle.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud, ...), when it proves impossible to move off,
it may be useful to temporarily deactivate theESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin
freely and so allow movement of the vehicle.
The use o
f snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
