Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in 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 need for vigilance
on the part 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).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.

Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
a

label on the middle pillar, left hand side, gives
a reminder of this.
be

fore reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle, as
given on the tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Operating fault
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.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.
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
be

fore doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
