Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
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, where fitted) every month as well
as 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 energy 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.
Under-inflation alert
It is indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, fixed. F
Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F Stop as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions allow.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
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. 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.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.

barCheck the tyre pressures regularly and
always obser ve the inflation pressures
indicated above.
Low tyre pressures can cause premature
wear of the tyres and introduce the risk of
the tyres bursting.
The tyre pressures must be regularly
checked with the tyres cold, and adjusted
if necessary.
Replace worn tyres only by tyres of the
same model as the original fitment, or
equivalent, and have them fitted by a
tyre
fitting specialist.
The responsibility for having the correct
tyre pressures lies with the driver.
Never exceed the speed rating or load
index of the tyres fitted to the vehicle.
It is for the driver to check the wear of the
tyres using the wear indicators in the tyre
tread.
