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).
o
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.

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.

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.
