Any repair or any change of tyre, on a wheel fitted with a sensor,
should be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
The system may be affected from time to time by interference
from radio transmissions on similar frequencies.
This function alerts you in the
event of a tyre being deflated or
punctured. For this purpose, sen-
sors continuously monitor the con-
dition of the vehicle’s wheels.
This system does not absolve the
driver of the need to check the tyre
pressures regularly.
TYRE DEFLATION DETECTION
The
SERVICE
warning
lamp comes on and a ve-
hicle outline is displayed,
accompanied by a mes-
sage and a sound signal.
The wheel(s) concerned
will be shown flashing on the vehicle
outline. Check the tyre pressures as
soon as possible.
Deflation warning
The
STOP
warning lamp
comes on and a vehicle
outline is displayed, ac-
companied by a mes-
sage and a sound signal.
The wheel(s) concerned
will be shown flashing on the vehi-
cle outline. Stop the vehicle imme-
diately, avoiding any violent actions
on the steering wheel or brakes.
Puncture
Change the damaged wheel
(whether punctured or substan-
tially deflated), have the tyre re-
paired as soon as possible, then
check the tyre pressures as soon
as you can after that.
The wheel affected will no longer
be detectable by the alert system
if it is in the boot or undergoing re-
pair. The spare wheel is not moni-
tored by the alert system.
The
SERVICE
warning
lamp comes on and a ve-
hicle outline is displayed,
accompanied by a mes-
sage and a sound signal.
The wheel(s) concerned
will be shown as absent on the vehi-
cle outline. If you have not changed
a wheel, this information indicates a
malfunctioning of the system.
Wheel not monitored
Consult the CITROËN network to
have the defective sensor(s) re-
placed.
The deflation detection system is a
driving assistance function which
does not relieve the driver from
the responsibility to be vigilant.
This system does not absolve the
driver of the need to check the
tyre pressures on a regular basis
(see « Vehicle identification»), to
ensure that the vehicle behaves
as it should and to avoid prema-
ture wear on the tyres, especially
when the vehicle is being subject-
ed to heavy loads or driven at high
speeds.
Do not forget to check the tyre
pressure on the spare wheel.
