Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
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
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the reinflation, repair or replacement
of the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
