Under-Inflation Detection - PEUGEOT 4008 Online Manual

Driving

Under-inflation detection

System which continuously and automatically checks the pressures of the four tyres after switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
the system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres, compared to the reference pressure registered in the system. this
reference pressure must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
the system operates on condition that the sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (e.g. wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).
the tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which 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 regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
the tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
For more information on Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding
section.
the tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for
less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
