Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
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 every 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 under-inflation detection system 
does not replace the vigilance or the 
responsibility 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
condition (high loading, high speed, 
long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings" 
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).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to 
the pressures shown on the label.
