Warning/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
Under-inflation Fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message. One or more wheels has
insufficient pressure.
Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or more
wheels.
For more information on Under-inflation detection
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Flashing then fixed,
accompanied by
the Ser vice warning
lamp. The system is faulty: tyre
pressures are no longer
monitored.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Diesel engine
pre-heating
Fixed.
The ignition switch is at the
2nd position (ignition on).
or
The "START/STOP " button has
been pressed. Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
Once it goes off, starting is immediate, on condition that:
-

t
he clutch pedal is depressed fully with a manual
gearbox,
-

p
ressure is maintained on the brake pedal with an
automatic or electronic gearbox.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the climatic conditions (up to about thirty
seconds in extreme weather conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again, then
start the engine.
Instruments

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 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).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

check.

The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Réinitialisation
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 conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to 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. Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.
With audio system

F i f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed. With touch screen
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Have the punctured wheel checked. After
inspection, the technician will let you know
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be

Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation

, refit the hub
cap starting by placing its notch facing the
valve and press around its edge with the
palm of your hand.
Fastening the steel wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.

yre/paint label.
This label on the middle door pillar, driver's
side, contains the following information:
-

t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-

t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-

t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-

t
he paint colour code. The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30
mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
