Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind   resistance  
(roof
  bars,   roof   rack...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
  the   end   of   winter,   remove   snow   tyres   and   refit   your   summer   tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   any   over flow.
At
  the   wheel   of   your   new   vehicle,   it   is   only   after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(

3 000   kilometres)   that   you   will   see   the   fuel   consumption   settle   down   to  
a

  consistent   average.

Under-inflation fixed. The   pressure   in   one   or   more   wheels  
i

s   too   low.
Check   the   tyre   pressures   as   soon   as   possible.
This   check   should   preferably   be   carried   out   when   the  
t

yres   are   cold.
You   must   reinitialise   the   system   after   the   adjustment  
o

f   one   or   more   tyre   pressures   and   after   changing   one  
o

r   more   wheels.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel   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  
d

etects   a   drop   in   the   inflation   pressure   of   one  
o

r   more   tyres. The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This   system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd   causes   premature   tyre   wear,  p
articularly   under   arduous   condition  (
high   loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The   inflation   pressures   defined   for  
y

our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
For   more   information   on   the  
i

dentification   markings,   refer   to   the  c
orresponding s ection.
Tyre   pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
  puncture   repair   kit   or   the   spare  
w

heel   (depending   on   equipment).
The
  alert   is   maintained   until   the   system  
i

s
 r

einitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
  for   the   use   of   the   vehicle   and   in  
l

ine   with   the   recommendations   on   the  
t

yre   pressure   label.
The
  under-inflation   alert   can   only   be  
r

elied   on   if   the   reinitialisation   of   the  
s

ystem   has   done   with   the   pressures   in  
t

he   four   tyres   correctly   adjusted.
The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.
It
 
is
 
necessary
 
to
 
reinitialise
 
the
 
system
 
every
 
t

ime
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
tyre
 
pressures
 
are
 
adjusted,
 
a

after
 
changing
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
wheels.
A
 
label
 
attached
 
to
 
the
 
middle
 
pillar,
 
driver's
 
s

ide,
 
gives
 
a
 
reminder
 
of
 
this.

C1_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
The under-inflation alert can only be considered   reliable   if   reinitialisation   of  
t

he   system   is   done   with   the   the   four   tyre  
p

ressures   correctly   set.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised   after   fitting   or   removing  
sn

ow
 c
hains.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of   the   under-inflation   warning   lamp i

ndicates   a   fault   with   the   system.
In
 
this
 
case,   under-inflation   monitoring   of   the  
t

yres
 
is
 
no   longer   assured.
Have
 
the
 
system   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer
 
or
 
a   qualified   workshop.
Before
  doing   anything   to   the   system,  
t

he
  pressures   of   the   four   tyres   must   be  
c

hecked   and   the   system   reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
