Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:
F
H
ave the vehicle checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if this fault occurs.
Depending on version, a warning message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
selector in position N and to press the brake
pedal.
F
Switch off the ignition then start the engine again with the key or the " START/STOP"
button. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
Driving
155
The inflation pressures specified for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done 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, 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.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to regularly check the tyre pressures
(including the spare wheel) as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
load, high speed, long journey):
-
w
orsens road-holding,
-
l
engthens braking distances,
-
c
auses premature wear of the tyres,
-
i
ncreases fuel consumption. This is signalled by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden
braking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check. F
I f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written
on the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres
before performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure
is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
F
U
sing a compressor, such as the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.

The vehicle's electrical system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Only use the two 12
V sockets, located at
the front , to connect your compressor.
Repair and sealing
procedure
F Park the vehicle without obstructing any
traffic and apply the parking brake.

F Connect the compressor's electrical plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F
A
ffix the speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's
field of vision, to remind you that a wheel
is in temporary use.
F
S
tart the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve:
the sealant product would be expelled
through the pipe.
F
S
witch on the compressor by moving
switch B to position I until the tyre pressure
reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant product is
injected under pressure into the tyre
; do not
disconnect the pipe from the valve during
this operation (risk of blowback). If after approximately seven
minutes this
pressure is not reached, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable
; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
for assistance.
F
R
emove the kit and screw the cap back
on the white pipe. Take care to avoid
contaminating the vehicle with traces of
fluid. Keep the kit to hand.
Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on
the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in
standard waste, take it to a CITROËN
dealer or an authorised waste disposal
site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Inflation, occasional

It is also possible to use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and, if
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.
If after 7
minutes this pressure is not
reached, this indicates that the tyre is not
repairable
; contact a CITROËN dealer or

Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced. Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical contact of each bolt.
Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake. If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection
, refer to the corresponding
section.
