ake a long press on this button.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an low-pitched
audible signal.
A high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been done.
The audible signal is accompanied by a
message, if your vehicle has a display screen.
The new pressure settings registered are
considered to be reference values by the
system.
Operating fault
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service 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.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the
driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning 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 the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
Illumination of the warning lamp,
accompanid by a message in the
screen indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched of, or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
F
P
ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
T
he lamp in the button goes off.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and
ESP
systems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
Trajectory control systems
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
F
P
ress this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen. T he lamp in the button comes on.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems
checked.
Coasting with the engine off results in a
loss of power assistance for the steering.

Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.

A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by
the fixed illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
on a n
ew vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessar y .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

TA
182RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same
station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However
,
in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover
100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey.
AUDIO
RDS Receiving TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a
radio station transmitting this type of message. When a traffic
report is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD,
USB, ...) is interrupted automatically to play the TA message.
Normal playback of the audio source resumes at the end of the
transmission of the message.
Press TA to activate or deactivate the
reception of traffic messages.
When the radio is displayed on the
screen, press the control knob to display
the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
