TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" section) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction. The
speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel concerned.

Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
This warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the multifunction screen locat-
ing the wheel concerned.

Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or to indicate a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor.
