Reactivation
Deactivation can be configured in
the Driving / Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 30

mph (50 km/h).
Below 30

mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.
For the 1.6 THP 165 and THP 208 petrol
engines, the reactivation must always be
carried out manually.

Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked. ASR / DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
Deactivating using the touch screen
The systems no longer have an effect on
engine operation.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including in particular the tyre
pressure label, 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).
In the contrary case(hot), add 0.3
bar to
the values indicated on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, an audible
signal and, depending on the
equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking. The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not be satisfied with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
