Under-inflation detection
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not relieve you of
the monthly check of the tyre inflation
pressures (including the spare) and before
a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure measurement unit can be
configured with the MODE
button: in the "Tyre
pressure measurement" menu, select "psi/bar/
k Pa".
For more information on Vehicle
configuration , refer to the corresponding
section.
Under-inflation warning
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The 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 as soon as it
detects a
drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. In the event of a
problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.

n case of a puncture, use the temporary

I
n the event of under-inflation:
•
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
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
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).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including in particular the tyre
pressure label, refer to the corresponding
section.

• if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed and go to the nearest
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a
visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned is reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this 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, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured. This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted with a tyre.
Rear parking sensors,
audible assistance
If your vehicle is so equipped, the system
consists of four proximity sensors, installed in
the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: a person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain types of object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre if they are located in
the blind spots between and below the sensors. For example, a post, roadworks cone or
pavement bollard.
The rear parking sensor system may be linked
with the reversing camera.
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Take even greater care if you reverse with
the rear doors open.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
F Engage reverse gear using the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
