2014 Citroen C1 RHD warning

91
Switching off
F Press the end of the control stalk The display of information related to the
speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel indicates a fault
with the speed limiter.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F Press f irmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance ,
to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed
when exceeding the speed is not due to
an action by the driver (steep hill...).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in 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 alert 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 the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Hazard warning lamps
A visual warning by means of the direction
indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle
breakdown, towing or accident.
F
P
ress this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.

Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. F

in the temporary puncture repair kit) check

Reinitialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on (ignition switch in the " ON" position
or " ON" mode) and the vehicle stationary.

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

system.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this. F

106
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring 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 be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
considered reliable if reinitialisation of
the system is done with the the four tyre
pressures correctly set.Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Safety

108
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
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
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
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 vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the TRC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
Drive carefully at reduced speed, and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Safety

109
The TRC and DSC systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly and
repair procedures used by CITROËN
dealers.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
However, it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.F

P
ress this button briefly.
This warning lamp comes on: the
TRC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
Reactivation
The TRC and DSC control systems are
reactivated automatically every time the engine
is started. F

P
ress the button again to
reactivate it manually. Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Deactivation of the TRC system only

ehicle stationary , press this
button for at least than 3 seconds.
These warning lamps come
on: the TRC and DSC
systems no longer act on
the operation of the engine. When the TRC system only is deactivated, it is
reactivated as the vehicle's speed increases.
When both the TRC and DSC systems are
deactivated, they do not reactivate themselves
even if the speed of the vehicle increases.
