Driving -> Tyre under-inflation detection for Your Citroen C4 Cactus SUV First Generation (2014-2018)

Driving  
In the event of a fault with the  
power steering, this warning lamp  
flashes in the instrument panel,  
accompanied by a message.  
Recommendations on care  
The tyre under-inflation detection system  
does not replace the need for vigilance on  
the part of the driver.  
This system still requires you to check the  
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare  
wheel) every month as well as before a  
long journey.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs  
handling, extends braking distances and  
causes premature tyre wear, particularly  
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high  
speeds, long journeys).  
-
Regularly check that the sensors and  
cameras are clean.  
If necessary, clean the camera lenses with  
a soft, dry cloth.  
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
-
-
If using a high-pressure washer, do not  
direct the lance less than 30 cm from the  
sensors and cameras.  
In bad weather, or during the winter, ensure  
that the sensors and cameras are not  
covered with mud, ice or snow.  
Tyre under-inflation  
detection  
System which automatically checks the  
pressures of the tyres while driving.  
The system monitors the pressure in all four  
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.  
It compares the information given by the  
wheel speed sensors with reference values,  
which must be reinitialised after every tyre  
pressure adjustment or wheel change.  
The system triggers an alert as soon as it  
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more  
tyres.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres  
increases fuel consumption.  
Operating faults  
When the function is not activated,  
the button warning lamp flashing  
and an audible signal indicates a  
system fault.  
The tyre pressure specifications for your  
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure  
label.  
For more information on the  
Identification markings, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,  
the warning lamp goes off.  
If the fault in the parking sensors,  
indicated by this warning lamp  
coming on, occurs during use, it  
causes the function to deactivate.  
In the event of a fault, have the system checked  
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Driving  
Before reinitialising the system, ensure  
that the pressures of the four tyres  
are correct for the conditions of use  
of the vehicle and conform to the  
recommendations on the tyre pressure  
label.  
The under-inflation alert can only be relied  
on if the reinitialisation of the system has  
been done with the pressures in the four  
tyres correctly adjusted.  
F If you have 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.  
Tyre pressures should be checked 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 (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the  
pressures shown on the label.  
or  
F In the event of a puncture, use the  
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare  
wheel (depending on equipment).  
Under-inflation alert  
The under-inflation detection system  
does not give a warning if a pressure is  
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.  
This warning is indicated by  
continuous illumination of this lamp,  
an audible signal and a message  
displayed on the screen.  
The warning remains active until the  
system is reinitialised.  
Reinitialisation of the system is done via the  
touch screen, with the ignition on and the  
vehicle stationary.  
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive  
steering movements and sudden braking.  
F Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Reinitialisation  
The system must be reinitialised after any  
adjustment to the pressures of one or more  
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.  
F
In the Driving/Vehicle menu,  
select the "Driving functions"  
tab, then "Reset under-  
inflation detection".  
6
The loss of pressure detected does not  
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.  
Do not rely on a simple visual check.  
F Select "Yes" to confirm.  
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display  
of a message and an audible signal.  
Snow chains  
The system does not have to be  
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow  
chains.
