 eoBD (european on Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics 
system which complies 
with, among others, the 
standards on the authorised 
emissions

-

x (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 
illumination 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.
uNDeR-INFLAt I o N   D ete C t I o N
This system 
continuously monitors 
the pressures of the four 
tyres, as soon as the 
vehicle is moving.
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).

therwise, 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.

nder-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.

uNDeR-INFLAtI o N   D ete C t I o N   WI t H   R e INI t IALISAt I o N
System which automatically checks the 
pressures of the tyres while driving.
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 every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel 
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon 
as it detects a drop in the inflation 
pressure of one or more tyres.The under-inflation detection 
system 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 (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).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption. 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 section.
Tyre 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).

under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and, depending on equipment, 
the display of a message.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.
The 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.
The under-inflation detection system 
does not give a warning if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected 
does not always cause visible 
bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy 
yourself with just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the 
system is reinitialised.

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.
