Under-inflation detection
The under-inflation detection system d
oes   not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   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   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd   causes   premature   tyre   wear,  
p

articularly   under   arduous   condition  
(

high   loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).The
  inflation   pressures   defined   for  y
our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
For
  more   information   on   the  
i

dentification   markings,   refer   to   the  
c

orresponding
 s
ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   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.
System
 
which

The
 
system
 
monitors
 
the
 
pressures
 
in
 
the
 
four
 t
yres,
 
once
 
the
 
vehicle
 
is
 
moving.
It

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

as
 
it
 
d

etects

Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
  for   the   use   of   the   vehicle   and   in  
l

ine   with   the   recommendations   on   the  
t

yre   pressure   label.
The
  under-inflation   alert   can   only   be  
r

elied   on   if   the   reinitialisation   of   the  
s

ystem   has   done   with   the   pressures   in  
t

he   four   tyres   correctly   adjusted.
The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.
The
 
loss
