The loss of pressure detected does not 
always lead to visible deformation of the 
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or 
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired 
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a 
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination 
of this warning lamp, accompanied by 
an audible signal, and depending on 
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, 
the symbol or the message appears, according 
to equipment, to identify it.
F 
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering 
movements or harsh brake applications.
F  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. F 
If you have a compressor (the one in the 
temporary puncture repair kit for example), 
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
  If it is not possible to check the tyre 
pressures at the time, drive carefully at 
reduced speed.
 or
F  In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (according to equipment).
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed 
illumination of the under-inflation 
warning lamp accompanied by 
the illumination of the service warning lamp 
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is 
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more 
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, 
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked 
or, following the repair of a puncture, to 
have the original wheel, equipped with a 
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a 
wheel fitted with this system must be 
carried out by a CITR oËn dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not 
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow 
tyres for example), you must have the 
system reinitialised by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking 
cover in the front bumper as well as the bonnet 
seal if fitted.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for this.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling 
on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically if a genuine 
CITROËN towbar is used.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long 
mountain type of descent, the use of engine 
braking is recommended.
