2013 Citroen DS5 tyre pressure

191Practical 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 tyrepressure label or the accessory's pressure
label. ) Remove the kit then stow it.

Driving advice


Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to the 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
Towing 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. The maximum towed load on a long inclinedepends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
) If the warning lamp and theSTOPwarning 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 engine
braking is recommended.


Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle 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.

Technical 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 bodyworknear the damper support.


The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month. The rear quar ter 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 themanufacturer,

- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.
