Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp flashes on the instrument 
panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes  and a message appears, accompanied by 
an audible signal.
Have it 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 there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message 
may also be displayed, prompting you to place 
the gear selector in position  N and depress the 
brake pedal.
►
 
Switch off the ignition then start the engine 
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a 
12 V battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Tyre under-inflation  detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres 
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, 
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored 
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore 
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during 
the operation. This operation is the driver’s 
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,  in any circumstances, 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), especially before a long 
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 
speed, long journey):
–
 
worsens road-holding.
–
 
lengthens braking distances.
–
 
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
 
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined 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 monthly 
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles 
(10
 
km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.   

137
Driving
6Snow 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
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.
►
 
Reduce speed immediately
 , avoid excessive 
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►
 
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do 
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not  always cause visible deformation of the 
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►
 
Using a compressor
 , such as the one in 
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the 
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►
 
If it is not possible to carry out this check 
immediately
, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►
 
In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel 
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure 
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the 
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre 
blow-out. This is because analysis of the 
values read by the wheel's speed sensors 
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below 
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty 
driving mode.
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.
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.
Without touch screen 
 
 
 
► With the vehicle stationary , press this 
button for about 3 seconds then release it. 
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.
With touch screen
With the vehicle stationary, the 
system is reinitialised via the 
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, 
these warning lamps light up on 
the instrument panel.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring 
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Non-standard spare wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may 
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp 
comes on and disappears once the wheel 
has been replaced by one of uniform size (the

Cruise control - Specific 
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum 
authorised speed and the safety distance 
between vehicles, the driver remains 
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise 
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles 
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an 
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is 
activated. If you press and hold one of the 
speed setting modification buttons, your 
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise 
control system cannot prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if 
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set 
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed 
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed 
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the 
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the 
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is 
reached again, the displayed speed stops 
flashing).
