Tyre under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures 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 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 pressure 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.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
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.
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.
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.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Operating fault
But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible. F

P
ress the button.
This warning lamp and the indicator
lamp in the button come on: the
DSC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h). F

P
ress the button again to
reactivate it manually. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, this indicates a fault
with the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
