34EMISSIOnS cOntrOLS
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards on emissions
limits of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected by
oxygen sensors placed downstream of
the catalytic converters,
-
particles.

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
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 increases
fuel consumption.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. 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).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have it
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To locate it, refer to the "Technical
data
- Identification markings" section.
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).

35under-inflation alert
The alert 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.
-
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
-
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-
In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).
-
In the event of under-inflation:
●
if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
●
if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go
to the nearest 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.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message 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.
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.

- Extend the jack using the wheelbrace d
and the bar B until the wheel is a few
centimetres off the ground.
-
Unscrew the bolts fully and remove the
wheel to be repaired.
-
Position the jack
c at one of the four
locations provided on the underbody
near the wheels.
If your vehicle has a folding foot board, the
jack must be positioned at 45°.

The removable towing eye is located in the
tool box under the front passenger seat.
Unclip the cover using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Attach the approved towing arm to to the
removable towing eye.
Place the gear lever in neutral.
towing another vehicle
The fixed towing eye is located on the right
below the bumper.
Attach the approved towing arm to the
fixed

Failure to observe this requirement
may result in damage to certain braking
components and the lack of some braking
assistance systems when the engine is
re-started.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
-
vehicle broken down on a motorway or
fast road,
-
four-wheel drive vehicle,
-
when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-
towing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-
where there is no approved towing arm
available...
