TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in
one or more tyres.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a each tyres (except the
spare wheel). This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed,
long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while
driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as
soon as the vehicle is moving.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label (see the "Identifi cation markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated
on the label.
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
responsibly.

DRIVING
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the
message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.
 Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.
 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment),
or
 if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,
or
 if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed.
UNDER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fi xed illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinfl ated,
repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor. The fl ashing and then fi xed illumination of the
under-infl ation warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel, equipped with a sensor, refi tted.
OPERATING FAULT

164
 Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I"
until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing).  Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fl uid. Keep
the kit to hand.
 Drive immediately for approximately three miles (fi ve kilometres), at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to
plug the puncture.
 Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe
to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through
the pipe.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-infl ation detection,
the under-infl ation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel
has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop for assistance.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
2. Inflation
 Turn the selector A to the "air" position.
 Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
 Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.
As soon as possible, go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can
be repaired or if it must be replaced.
 Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
 Start the vehicle again and leave the engine running.  Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to infl ate: switch
B
in position "I" ; to defl ate: switch B in position "O" and press
button C ), in accordance with the vehicle's tyre pressure label
(located on the left hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualifi ed workshop for
assistance.
 Remove and stow the kit.
 Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled to approximately 120 miles (200 km).
