Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
this warning lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the warning lamp goes off. If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a fault, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving. The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications 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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert

illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. The system is initialised with the ignition on and
the vehicle stationary.
The new pressure parameters saved
are considered reference values by the
system.
Without audio system
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then
release it, an audible signal confirms the
reinitialisation.
With audio system or touch screen
The reinitialisation is carried
out via the vehicle configuration
menu.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
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.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to 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.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes. For more information about the Engine
technical data and towed loads
and
particularly the maximum load applied
on the towing device, refer to the
corresponding section. If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10 minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-
f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.

reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Roof bars/Roof rack
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars and racks, at
least before each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
