Tyre Under-Infl Ation Detection - CITROEN C4 Owner's Handbook Manual

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of a each tyres (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
9
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long jour-
ney.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous con-
ditions (vehicle loaded,
speed, long journey).
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehi-
cle can be found on the tyre pres-
sure label (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres cold
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the val-
high
ues indicated on the label.
