Tyre Pressure

[Lissie]

Hello, can someone help me please. I have a C3 1000cc, no manual with it and I would like to know the tyre pressures please?

Welcome to the forum.

 

On one of the door pillars will be a sticker which has the tyre pressures and tyre size. They will be in bar so to convert to psi multiply by 14.5 and the pressures may be a range depending on how loaded the car is.

 

On our 2010 C3 1.4 petrol 95 bhp, it gives front 2.1 to 2.3 bar, rear 2.0 to 2.5 bar, space saver spare wheel 4.2 bar or normal spare wheel 2.5 bar. Converting to psi gives front  30.5 to 33.5 psi, rear 29 to 36 psi, space saver spare wheel 61 psi.

 

I usually set the pressures at the higher values 33.5 psi front and 36 psi rear.

 

To save having to do the conversion with psi to the nearest 0.5:

Bar     psi

2.0      29

2.1      30.5

2.2      32

2.3      33.5

2.4      35

2.5      36

2.6      37.5

2.7      39

2.8      40.5

2.9      42

3.0      43.5

 

You can read/save/print in sections the handbook from here for cars from about 2007 but then most will apply to earlier cars http://service.citroen.com/ddb/ . You may need to select your language first. Citroen handbooks do not include the tyre pressures. Sometimes the handbook can be found in one of the drawers under the front seats.
