TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure du-
ring driving and trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction.
Flat tyre
Instrument panel
warning light.
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accompanied by the audible signal
and the message on the multi-function
display locating the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multi-function display locating the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the 'STOP'
warning light.
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.
Sensor(s) not detected or
faulty
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompanied
by the message on the multifunction display
which indicates that under-infl ation detec-
tion is absent from one (or several) wheel(s)
or that there is a fault in the system.
Instrument panel dis-
play warning light.
This is accompa-
nied by the audible
signal and the message on the multi-
function display which indicates that
under-infl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) wheel(s) or that
there is a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufacturer's
label on the door pillar) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance
of the vehicle is maintained and pre-
vent premature wear of the tyres, par-
ticularly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem may experience temporary inter-
ference due to radioelectric emissions
on a frequency close to that used by
the system.
This is accompanied by the message
on the multifunction display locating
the wheel concerned.
Note
: this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when
one or more wheels without a sensor
are fi tted.
