Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS)
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 ever y 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 Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS) 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 conditions (high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre 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).Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.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 tyre pressure warning sensor.

Tyre Pressure WarningReinitialisation
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 tyre pressure warning can only be relied on if the reinitialisation of the system has been done with the pressures in the four tyres correctly adjusted.The tyre pressure warning system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels.
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 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment),orF if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold,orF if it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
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.
Initialisation of the system is done with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the system.

recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your c o u nt r y.Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.The towing vehicle must move off gently.When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery ser vice:- vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road,- four-wheel drive vehicle,- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing arm available...
