I n the event of a puncture, use the

or
F

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
  the   temporary   puncture   repair   kit,   check  
t

or
F
 
i
f   it   is   not   possible   to   make   this   check  
i

mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not

is
 r

einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised  after   fitting   or   removing

hains.
Before
  reinitialising   the   system,   ensure  
t

hat 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 alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.

Do
  not   leave   anything   between   the  
o

ccupants   and   the   airbags   (a   child,   pet,  
o

  observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag
  is   deployed   cannot   be   ruled   out.   The  
b

m

illiseconds) then deflates within the same
time
