Citroen C3: Under-inflation detection / 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 does not
always cause visible bulging 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 the four tyres when cold.
- If it is not possible to make 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).
The alert is kept active
until the system is
reinitialised.
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 every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed...
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...
Other information:
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum
towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces...
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera
function may be
supplemented by the parking sensors...
