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.

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

Practical information
7brake must be adjusted, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases energy 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely 
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's 
road holding - risk of accident! Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the 
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as 
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is 
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as 
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres 
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer 
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away 
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be 
identified by this symbol on their 
sidewalls.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure  compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with 
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic 
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for 
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains 
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of 
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and 
water, which are harmless to health and the 
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in  a special 
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 3,000
  miles (5,000   km) (which 
may vary considerably  depending on your 
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system 
is automatically triggered when the remaining 
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
  km), i.e. once 
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during 
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
  km) until the 
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the  Warning 
and indicator lamps  and the associated 
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the 
corresponding sections.
Once  the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device 
required by law prevents the engine from 
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of 
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet

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

Fitting a steel spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the 
washers A do not make contact with the steel 
spare wheel. The wheel is held in place by 
the conical contact surface  B of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
With a non-standard spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions 
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control, 
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised 
speed of 50 mph (80
  km/h) or the maximum 
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one spare wheel of 
this type is prohibited.
The wheel trim from the replaced wheel must 
not be refitted.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts 
and its tyre pressure checked.
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.
Wheel with wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel 
trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the 
valve and then pushing the trim into place all 
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on  this label.
For more information on  Identification 
markings, particularly this label, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), misting on the 
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps 
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear 
after the lamps have been on for a few 
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate  lenses with a protective coating:
–
 
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive 
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent 
products.
–
 
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product.
–
 
When using a high-pressure washer on 
persistent marks, do not keep the lance 
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or 
their edges for too long, so as not to damage 
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with 
the ignition off and after the headlamp / 
lamp has been switched off for several 
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your 
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet 
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the 
headlamp.
