2015 CITROEN DS3 CABRIO tyre pressure

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure   is   not   attained,   this   indicates  
t

hat   the   tyre   is   not   repairable;   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified

Practical information

F Start  the   compressor   by   placing   the   switch  a
t the " I"
  position   and   adjust   the   pressure  
t

o the value shown on the vehicle's tyre
pressure
  label.
 T

o   deflate:   press   the   black   button   on   the  
c

ompressor   pipe,   at   the   valve   connector.
F
 
O
nce   the   correct   pressure   is   reached,   put  
t

he switch to the " O"
  position.
F
 
R
emove   the   kit   then   stow   it.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning lamp   will   remain   on   until   the   system   is  
r

einitialised.
For
  more   information,   refer   to   the  
"

Under-inflation
 d
etection"
 s
ection.
Should
  the   pressure   of   one   or   more  
t

yres   be   adjusted,   it   is   necessary   to  
r

einitialise   the   under-inflation   detection  
s

ystem.
Refer
  to   the   "Under-inflation   detection"  
s

ection.

RACING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar.   The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Lighting
F Check   the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.

 F

or   more   information,   contact   a   CITROËN
 d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The
  tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
w

a

  month.
