Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels are 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.
Tyre under-inflation
detection with
reinitialisation
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as 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 once a drop in
pressure is detected in 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 eliminate the need
to check the tyre inflation pressures
(including the spare) every month and
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.
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving. The inflation pressures specified 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 must be checked "cold"
(vehicle stopped for 1
hour or after a
journey of less than 6
miles (10 km)
travelled at a moderate speed).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.

n case of a puncture, use the temporary

The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. 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 system has been reinitialised
with all four tyres inflated to the correct
pressures.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The system must be reinitialised with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary:

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision.
You are then warned by the display of a
message.
Your vehicle's brake lamps come on to warn
other road users.The collision can be avoided if the speed
difference between your vehicle and
the one ahead is not more than 9
mph
(15
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
accident by lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking can bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily (for about 1.5
seconds) to allow
the driver to take back control by pressing the
brake pedal.
Unless the driver presses the clutch
quickly enough during automatic braking,
triggering of the system may cause the
engine to stall. During automatic braking, the driver can
always obtain a higher rate of deceleration
than that controlled by the system, by
pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice: it no
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are
stationary or moving in the same direction as
your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles,
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or will be interrupted
if the driver:
-
a
ccelerates hard
-
o
r turns the steering wheel sharply
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail,
etc.), braking distances increase, which
may reduce the system’s ability to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet
or any object beyond the bonnet or the
front of the roof: this could enter the
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct
detection.Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition
on.
Its status is stored when the ignition is switched off.
When the system is deactivated, a
message is displayed every time the
ignition is switched on, to warn you.

Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle's
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
195/65 R15
9
mm
19 5/ 70 R15
205/65 R15 215/5 5 R16215 / 5 0 R17
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Installation advice
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.

put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.

verifying the following points:
-
t
he green mark on the locking wheel is
visible.
-
t
he safety lock on the locking wheel is
facing rearward.
-
