Under-Inflation Detection - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

Driving
Manual reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the indicator lamp in the switch going off,
accompanied by a message in the screen.
The system is reactivated automatically at
every new start using the key.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "ECO OFF" indicator lamp in the switch
flashes, then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel
warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to
switch off the ignition, then restart with the key.
Stop & Start requires the use of a 12 V
battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.

Under-inflation detection

This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressures while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once 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 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) 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).
