Under-inflation detection
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
o
r more tyres. 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).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
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.

xcessive steering movements and sudden
b
raking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
The
loss of pressure detected does not
a

D
o
not satisfy yourself with just a visual
c
heck.
F
I
f
you
have a compressor (such as the one
i

the
temporary puncture repair kit) check
t

pressures of the four tyres when cold.
I
f
it
is
not possible to carry out this check
s
traight away, drive carefully at reduced
s
peed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare
w
heel (depending on equipment).
The
alert is maintained until the system
i
s
r
einitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t hat 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.
It
is
necessary
to
reinitialise
the
system
every

one
or

tyre
pressures
are
adjusted,
a

after
changing
one
or

Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's visibility
p
rogressively according to the ambient light
l
evel and weather:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-
d
ipped beam headlamps to see without

-
m
ain beam headlamps to see clearly when
t
he road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to meet the requirements of particular driving conditions:
-
a
rear foglamp,
-
d
aytime running lamps to be more visible
d
uring the day. In
some weather conditions (e.g. low
t
emperature or humidity), the presence
o
f misting on the internal sur face of the
g
lass of the headlamps and rear lamps
i
s normal; it disappears after the lamps

ave been on for a few minutes.Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that d
rives on the other side of the road, the
