Tyre under-infl ation detection

If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this in-
dicates that the tyre is not repair-
able; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop for as-
sistance.





Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing 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 ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.


Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve 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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
196




Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.


Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.


As soon as possible, go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
You must inform the technician
that you have used this kit. After
inspection, the technician will
advise you on whether the tyre
can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.



Turn the selector A
to the
"air" position.


Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.


Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel.

2. Infl ation




Adjust the pressure using the com-
pressor (to infl ate: switch B
in po-
sition "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a CITROËN dealer or quali-
fi ed workshop for assistance.


Remove and stow the kit.


Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).

Removing the cartridge





Stow the black pipe.


Detach the angled base from the
white pipe.


Support the compressor vertically.


Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.






Connect the compressor's electri-
cal connector to the vehicle's 12 V
socket.


Start the vehicle and let the engine
run.


Adjust the pressure using the com-
pressor (to infl ate: switch B
in po-
sition "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
),
according to the vehicle's tyre pres-
sure label or the accessory's pres-
sure label.


Remove the kit then stow it.


Beware of discharges of fl uid.
The expiry date of the fl uid is in-
dicated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed
for single use; even if only partly
used, it must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take
it to an authorised waste dispos-
al site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
CITROËN dealers or from a
qualifi ed workshop.



Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, with-
out injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,

- infl ate other accessories (balls, bi-
cycle tyres...).





Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.


Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.


Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit fi rst.

TOWING A TRAILER


We recommend the use of genu-
ine CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting of the towbar is en-
trusted to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.



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 by 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 in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.



If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.


Braking
Towing 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, observing the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

TECHNICAL DATA

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS

Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bod-
ywork near the suspension damper
mounting.
B. Vehicle identifi cation number on
the dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-ad-
hesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the driver's front
pillar.
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroy-
ing label affi xed 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 in-
dex and speed rating),

- the spare tyre infl ation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
