EMISSIONS CONTROLS
eOBD (european On
Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which
complies with, among others,
the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
t
he driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
t
here is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which
automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres
while driving.
t
he system
continuously monitors
the pressures of the four tyres, as soon
as the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
t
he system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver
.t his system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
t
he tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
t
he 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 alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
t
he spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
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 given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.The flashing and then
fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "Service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
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.
t
his alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
g
o to a P euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop
to have the system
checked or, following the repair of a
puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
