TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warningin the event of malfunction (speedgreater than 15mph [25 km/h]). Flat tyre When this warning light comes on, accompanied byan audible signal and themessage 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multi-function
display, have the tyre pressurechecked as soon as possible. Puncture
This warning light, accom- panied by an audible signaland the message 'Punc-
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multi-function display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheeland the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured orvery deflated) tyre, and have the tyrepresure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is temporari-
ly stored in the boot, it will again emitthis message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This willprevent another warning of the sametype being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom-panied by an audible signaland the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss-ing ' on the multi-function
display, indicates that under-inflationdetection is absent from one (or sev-eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s). Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or whena wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fittedwith this system must becarried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detec-tion system is an aid to drivingwhich does not replace theneed for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly. This system does not remove the necessity for having the tyre pres-sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, toensure optimum dynamic perfor-mance of the vehicle and to pre-vent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in the case of arduousdriving conditions (heavy load,high speed). The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts ona frequency close to it.

Fold the jack by pressing at the ends Aand place it in one of the
four locations Eunderneath the
vehicle (the nearest one to thewheel to be changed).
Extend the jack, first by hand, pul-ling the ends Athen using wheel-
brace 1and the extension 3.
Remove a wheel bolt at the topand fit the centralising tool 2 in its
place.
Unscrew the other bolts andremove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel Position the wheel using the cen-tralising tool to assist you.
Tighten the bolts by hand andremove the centralising tool.
Partly tighten the bolts using thewheelbrace.
Fold the jack and remove it.
Fully tighten the bolts using thewheelbrace.
Replace the wheel trim.
Put the tool holder back in posi-
tion. This helps to keep the bootfloor in its correct position, to pre-vent any deformation of the floorwhen loaded.
Tighten the spare wheel securingstrap to prevent noise and for yoursafety in the event of impact.
For your safety, alwayschange the wheel:
- on level, stable, non-slippery
ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with first or reverse gear enga- ged (position Pfor the automatic
gearbox),
- never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack (use a ramp).
After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible.
- have the punctured wheel repai- red and refit it to the vehicle assoon as possible.
Tyres fitted with the Tyre Under-Inflation Detection System. These wheels have a pressure
sensor. Have them repaired by a

Fitting the spare wheel If your vehicle is fitted with a steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it is
nor-
mal to notice when tightening the
bolts that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The sparewheel is secured by the cone-shapeof each bolt. Fitting snow tyres If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel wheels to your vehicle, it is essential
to use special bolts available from

Screw in the towing eye until it locks.
From the rear: Unclip the top of the cover using the flat part of the towing eye,
Screw in the towing eye until it locks.
Lifting (2 wheels only on the road )It is preferable to raise the vehicle by the wheels.
Never use the radiator crossmember. Special features of the automatic gearbox When towing with four wheels on the ground, the following rules must beobeyed:
Ð lever in position
N,
Ð tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum distance of 30 miles (50 km).
