Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Low fuel level
fixed with the needle
in the red zone. There remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel
reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of
fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
flashing with the
needle in the red
zone.
There remains very little fuel in the
tank.
Under-inflation fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
+ flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning lamp.The tyre pressure monitoring system
has a fault or no sensor is detected
on one of the wheels. Under-inflation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Under-inflation
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Under-inflation detection system which
automatically checks the pressures of the tyres
while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel 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
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so. F
In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F if you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F if it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.

Reinitialising
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation. F
With the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary, press this
button for about 3 seconds then
release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
The new pressure settings registered
are considered to be reference values
by the system.
Reinitialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
F Press " Under-inflation
initialisation ".
From the "
Driving assistance " menu
of the touch screen:
F Confirm the instruction by pressing " Ye s",
an audible signal and a message confirm
the reinitialisation.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Touch screen Screen A
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

After using the kit, refer to the previous
pages to check the tyre pressures
and reinitialise the "Under-inflation
detection" function.
F
Start the compressor by placing the switch
at the " I" position and adjust the pressure
to the value shown on the vehicle's tyre
pressure label.
To deflate: press the black button on the
compressor pipe, at the valve connector.
F Once the correct pressure is reached, put
the switch to the " O" position.
F Remove the kit then stow it.

Identification markings
A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper support. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at
the bottom of the windscreen aperture.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen. C.
Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the middle pillar, on the
passenger's side.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is fitted to the middle pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:
-
the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
- the tyre sizes,
- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour code.
Various visible markings for the identification of
your vehicle.
