Tyre Under-Inflation Detection With Reinitialisation - PEUGEOT PARTNER TEPEE ELECTRIC Owners Handbook Supplement

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this 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, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels are 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.
Tyre under-inflation
detection with
reinitialisation
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after every tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert once a drop in
pressure is detected in 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 eliminate the need
to check the tyre inflation pressures
(including the spare) every month and
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 inflation pressures specified 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 must be checked "cold"
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a
journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
travelled at a moderate speed).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
