top as soon as it is safe to do so.
th

e loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
th

e alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the inflation, repair or replacement of
the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th

e spare wheel does not have
a sensor, so there is no need to
reinitialise the the system for running
with the spare wheel fitted.
F
I f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.

F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Reinitialising the reference
pressure
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
th

e under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
th

e system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.
