UNDER-INFLATION DETECTIONE
MISSIONS
CONTROLS
This system continuously
monitors the pressures of
the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving. EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies
with, among others, the
standards on the authorised
emissions
of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illu
mination of this specific warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

The alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.The flashing and then
fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "Service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
-
Reduce speed, avoid sudden
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
-
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-
In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (according to
equipment),
or
-
if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
-
if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed. This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop
to have the system
checked or, following the repair of a
puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.

REMOVABLE SNOW SCREEN
(
BLANKING COVER )
According to country, the removable
snow screen is installed on the lower
part of the front bumper to prevent the
accumulation of snow at the radiator
cooling fan.
Do not forget to remove the snow
screen when the exterior temperature
is higher than 10°C (no risk of snowfall)
and when towing.
Fitting
Removal
- Pass a screwdriver into the hole
located near each of the clips.
-
Use the screwdriver as a lever to
unclip the four clips
B in turn.
-
Of
fer up the snow screen facing its
centring pin A on the front bumper.
-
Put it in place by pressing at each
clip
B located in the four corners.
6. Refitting the repaired wheel
The wheel is refitted as described in
step 5, not forgetting to refit the wheel
trim.
Refer to the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9 to
locate the tyre label.
Refer to the "Instruments and
controls" section of chapter 3,
"Tyre under-inflation detection"
part, for recommendations after
changing a wheel fitted with a tyre
under-inflation detection sensor.
The spare wheel is not designed
to be used over long distances.
Have the tightening of the bolts
and the tyre pressure checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Have the original wheel repaired
and refitted by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
