Brake pad wear fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal

display screen. The brake pads are at an advanced
state of wear.
Have the brake pads replaced by a CITROËN dealer

The "automatic application" (on
switching off the engine) and
"automatic release" functions are
deactivated or faulty. Activate the function (depending on the country of
sale) via the vehicle parameters menu or contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop if automatic
application / release is not possible.
For more information on the electric parking brake,
refer to the corresponding section.

is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.

Monitoring

C5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2015
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which 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 regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
a pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
Maintenance
Before doing any work under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury related
to an automatic change to START
mode.
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery
of specific technology and characteristics
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN would
introduces the risk of faults with the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must only be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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.

F Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket again.
F Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running. F
Adjust the pressure using the compressor
(to inflate: switch A in position "1" ;
to deflate: switch A in position "0" and
press button B ), in accordance with the
vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on
the door aperture on the left-hand side),
then remember to check that the leak has
been plugged correctly (no further loss of
pressure after several miles [kilometres]).
F Remove the compressor, then store the
whole kit.
F Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).
F Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tyre repaired or replaced by a technician. Take care as sealant cartridge contains
ethylene-glycol. This product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes. Keep it out of reach of children.
The expiry date of the sealant is
indicated on the base of the cartridge.
The cartridge is designed for a single
use; even if only partly used, it must be
replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge
into the environment, take it to a
CITR
oËn dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new cartridge,
available from CITROËN dealers or a
qualified workshop.
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the tyre under-
inflation warning lamp will remain on
after the wheel has been repaired until
the system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

If your vehicle is fitted with a spare
wheel of a different size to those on the
vehicle, you must not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specific to the type
of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop that the wheel bolts
are compatible with the new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of the
security bolt socket. This will enable
you to obtain a replacement security
bolt socket from your dealer.
F
Tighten the security bolt using
wheelbrace 1 and security bolt socket
(depending on equipment).
F Tighten the other bolts using just the
wheelbrace 1 .
F Refit the protectors on the bolts.
F Stow the tools in the carrier box.
F Return the suspension to the normal
position.
F Check that the tyre pressure is correct and
have the balancing checked.Tyre under-inflation detection
The space-saver type or steel spare
wheel does not have a sensor.
The punctured wheel must be repaired
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
