Labels are applied at various points on your vehicle. They
carry safety warnings as well as vehicle identification
information. Do not remove them: they form an integral part
of your vehicle.
Automobiles CITROËN declares, by application of the
provisions of the European legislation (Directive 2000/53)
relating to End of Life Vehicles, that it achieves the
objectives set by this legislation and that recycled materials
are used in the manufacture of the products that it sells.
Reproduction or translation of all or part of this document
is prohibited without written authorisation from Automobiles
CITROËN.
For any work on your vehicle, use a qualified workshop
that has the technical information, competence and
equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide. Printed in the EU

We draw your attention to the following points:
-

The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not
listed by CITROËN

may cause faults and failures
with the electrical system of your vehicle. Contact
a CITROËN dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-

As a safety measure, access to the diagnostic socket,
used for the vehicle's electronic systems, is reserved
strictly for CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special diagnostic tool required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic systems that
could cause breakdowns or serious accidents).

The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible if this advice
is not followed.
-

Any modification or adaptation not intended or
authorised by

Automobiles CITROËN or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements defined by

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 conditions (high loading, high speed, long journey).
The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label. For more information on the identification markings, refer to the corresponding 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.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.
 Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking.  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.
 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment), or  if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold, or  if it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the use of the vehicle and in line with the recommendations on the tyre pressure label. The under-inflation alert can only be relied on if the reinitialisation of the system has been done with the pressures in the four tyres correctly adjusted. The under-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The system is reinitialised with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, via the vehicle configuration menu.
 Press the MENU button for access to the main menu.  Press the "  " or "  " button to select the Veh conf ig menu, then confirm by pressing the OK button.  Press the "  " or "  " button to select " Reinit inflat ", then confirm by pressing the OK button.  Select " yes " or " no " then press OK . A message is displayed asking you to confirm the instruction.  Confirm by pressing the OK button.  Conform then quit the menu.
 Press the MENU button for access to the main.  Press the "  " or "  " button to select the menu, " Personalisation-configuration " then confirm by pressing the button OK .  Press the "  " or "  " button to select the " Define vehicle parameters ", menu, then confirm by pressing the OK button.  Press the "  " or "  " button to select the " Tyre pressures" , menu then the " Reinitialisation " menu, then confirm by pressing the OK button. A message confirms the reinitialisation.
The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the system.

Snow chains The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
Operating fault
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. A message appears, accompanied by an audible signal.
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.
Before doing anything to the system, the pressures of the four tyres must be checked and the system reinitialised.

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
Travelling abroad Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name…) to ensure correct operation of the
engine. For any additional information, contact your dealer.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
For more information, contact a dealer of the brand or a qualified workshop.
Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuel at low temperature
In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter diesel fuels is recommended, keeping
the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
