EMISSIONS CONTROLS
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
on emissions limits of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected
by oxygen sensors placed
downstream of the catalytic
converters,
-
particles.
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
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.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have it
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. 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.

UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
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).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.

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 been 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.
F
Reduce speed immediately
, avoid
excessive steering movements and
sudden braking.
F
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
F
If you have a compressor
, such as
the one in the temporary puncture
repair kit, check the pressures of
the four tyres when cold.
F
If it is not possible to make this
check immediately
, drive carefully
at reduced speed.
or
F
In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (depending on
equipment).
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system
every time one or more tyre pressures
are adjusted, and after changing one
or more wheels.
