EMISSIOnS cOntrOLS
EoBd (European on Board diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system
which complies with,
among
others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions
of:
-
CO
(carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
no
x (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream
and downstream of the
catalytic
converters.
The
driver
is
warned
of
any
malfunction
of
this
emission control system by the
illu
mination of this specific warning
lamp
in
the instrument panel.
There
is
a risk of damage to the
catalytic
converter. Have it checked
by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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 each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The
system
triggers an alert if a drop
in
pressure
is
detected in one or more
tyres.
The
tyre
under-inflation detection
system
is
an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance
on the part of the driver.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 af
fects 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.
Refer
to chapter 9, "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).
Otherwise,
add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated
on the label.

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.
Operating faultu
nder-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation
of
the
tyre.
Do
not
rely
on
just a visual check.The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied
by an audible signal,
and
depending on equipment, the
display
of a message.The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation
warning
lamp
accompanied by the
illu
mination of the "Service" warning
lamp,
and depending on equipment,
the
display of a message indicates a
fault
with the system.
In
this
case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures
is not assured.
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. 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.
