If this warning lamp comes on, have  
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification

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 values

illumination of the "Service" warning  
lamp, and depending on equipment,  
the display of a message indicates a  
fault with the system.  
In this case, monitoring of the tyre  
pressures is not assured.  
In the event of a problem on one of  
the tyres, the symbol or the message  
appears, according to equipment, to  
identify it.  
The alert is maintained until  
the tyre or tyres concerned is  
reinflated, repaired or replaced.  
The spare wheel (space-saver type or  
a steel rim) does not have a sensor.  
-
Reduce speed, avoid sudden  
steering movements or harsh brake  
applications.  
This alert is also displayed when  
one or more wheels is not fitted  
with a sensor (for example, a  
space-saver or steel spare wheel).

-
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
In the event of a puncture, use  
the temporary puncture repair kit  
or the spare wheel (according to  
equipment),  
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop to have the system checked  
or, following the repair of a puncture, to  
have the original wheel, equipped with  
a sensor, refitted.

if it is not possible to check the  
tyre pressures at the time, drive  
carefully at reduced speed.
