Instruments and controls
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and, depending on equipment,
the display of a message.
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and
sudden braking
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected
does not always cause visible
bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy
yourself with just a visual check.
F In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (depending on
equipment),
or
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,
or
F if it is not possible to make this
check immediately, drive carefully
at reduced speed.
The alert is maintained until the
system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system
every time one or more tyre pressures
are adjusted, and after changing one
or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar,
driver's side, gives a reminder of this.
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 under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if the reinitialisation of the
system has 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.
