Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
T he   under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   vigilance   or   the  
r

esponsibility   of   the   driver.
This
  system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

mpairs   road   holding,   extends   braking  
d

istances   and   causes   premature  
t

yre wear, particularly under arduous
condition
  (high   loading,   high   speed,  
lon

g
 jo
urney).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
  label.
See
  the   "Identification   markings"  
s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.
The
  system   monitors   the   pressures   in   the   four  
t

yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
  more   tyres.

151
DS3_en_Chap08_securite_ed01-2014
The alert is maintained until the system is r einitialised.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
 
cause
 
visible
 
bulging
 
of
 
the
 
tyre.
 
D

o
 
not
 
satisfy
 
yourself
 
with
 
just
 
a

c

heck. Before
  reinitialising   the   system,   ensure  
t

hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line
  with   the   recommendations   on   the  
t

yre   pressure   label.
The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.
