is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

fixed. The emission control system has
a fault.
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop without delay.




Low fuel level


fixed with the two
last bars flashing,
accompanied by a
message and an
audible signal. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of
fuel
in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
This audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops and
approaches "0".
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

125Driving








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection


System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a
each tyres (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).

Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.


The tyre under-inflation detection system is
an aid to driving which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly.

Under-inflation alert


The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.


In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.



Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.


Stop 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 (according to equipment),
or


if you have a compressor, the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example,
check the four tyre pressures when cold,
or


if it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.

The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.


The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.


Operating fault


The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "ser vice" warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.

This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

"Sealant" or "Air" position selector.

B.
On "I"
/ off "O"
switch.

C.
Deflation button.

D.
Pressure gauge (in bar and p.s.i.).

E.
Compar tment housing:


- a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,

- various inflation adaptors for
accessories, such as balls, bicycle
tyres...


Description of the kit


F.
Sealant cartridge.

G.
White pipe with cap for repair.

H.
Black pipe for inflation.

I.
Speed limit sticker.

The speed limit sticker I
must be affixed
to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind
you that a wheel is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.






The tyre inflation pressures are given on this
label.

199Practical information

Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: the sealant product would be
expelled through the pipe.



Switch on the compressor by moving
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 vehicle
with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.


Drive immediately for approximately
three miles (five 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.




Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection

If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.


If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

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 bodywork
near the damper support.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.

If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases 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-destroying
label affixed to the door aperture, on the
passenger's side.

D.
Ty r e / p a i n t l a b e l .

This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the tyre sizes,

- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.


The rear quarter light cannot be etched
as it is made of polycarbonate material.
