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
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
th

e system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
th
e under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
th
is system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
th

e 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 section.ty re pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

in the temporary puncture repair kit) check

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
th

e alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that 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.
th

e under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if the reinitialisation of the
system has done with the pressures in
the four tyres correctly adjusted.
th

e under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.

general recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
c o unt r y.
en
sure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
th

e driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing arm; rope and straps
are prohibited.
th

e towing vehicle must move off
g e nt l y.
When towing a vehicle with the engine
off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:
-

or fast road,

-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the

brake,
-

ground,
-

When being towed, the speed limiter
should be dectivated, as well as the
"Active City Brake" system (if fitted to
your vehicle).
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer or
use a towbar. Failure to follow this advice may result in
damage to certain components (braking,
transmission, ...) and the absence of braking
assistance when the engine is restarted.
