Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack...). u
s
e a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

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.

n the event of a puncture, use the

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.

the under-inflation alert can only be
considered reliable if reinitialisation of
the system is done with the the four tyre
pressures correctly set.
Snow chains
the system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
operating fault
the flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a P

Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.

Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure gauge.
2.
S

ealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3.
Spe

ed limit sticker.
th

e speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.th
is kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
th

e vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
