Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
  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
or
  more   tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
  not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare wheel) every month as well as
before
  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
  loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
  label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
  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.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of t
his   warning   lamp,   accompanied   by  
a

n   audible   signal   and,   depending   on  
e

quipment,   the   display   of   a   message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time
  one   or   more   tyre   pressures   are   adjusted,  
a

nd   after   changing   one   or   more   wheels.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive
  steering   movements   and   sudden  
b

raking.
F

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
 
do
 
so. F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
  puncture   repair   kit   or   the   spare  
w

heel   (depending   on   equipment),
or
F

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

he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
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
always
  cause   visible   bulging   of   the   tyre.  
D

o
 
not   satisfy   yourself   with   just   a   visual  
c

heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
 r

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

ow
 c
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.
