TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING
3
Operating principle
When the ignition switch is in ON
position, the low tyre pressure warning
light illuminates and then turned off,
This indicates that the low tyre
pressure warning system is
operational.
Warning light
1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of
insufficient pressure (deflated wheel,
punctured tyre, malfunction, etc.).
Low tyre pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low
1 will illuminate.
tyre pressure
6 6 - D r i v i n g
When the low pressure warning light
illuminates you should stop and adjust
the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure. The low tyre
pressure warning light does not
automatically turned off when the tyre
pressure is adjusted. After the tyre is
inflated the recommended pressure,
the vehicle must be driven at speeds
above 25 km/h (16MPH) to activate
the tyre pressure monitoring system
and turn off the low tyre pressure
warning light.
TPMS Malfunction :
If the TPMS is not functioning properly
the low tyre pressure warning light no
1 will flash for approximately 1 minute
when the ignition switch is placed on
position. The light will remain on after
the 1 Minute along with the electrical
warning tell tale no 2 .
Operating conditions
In the following situations, the system
risk coming into action late or not
functioning correctly :
– system not reset after reinflation or
any operation on the wheels.
– system badly reset : different
inflation pressures from the
recommended pressures.
– significant change in load or
distribution of load on one side of the
vehicle.
– sporty driving with strong
acceleration.
– driving on snowy or slippery surface
– driving with snow chains.
– fitting a single new tyre.
– use of tyres not approved by the
network.
This function is an
additional driving aid.
The function does not
take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the
vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
Check the tyre pressures,
including the emergency spare
wheel, once a month.
Resetting the standard level for the
tyre pressures
It must be carried out while the
vehicle is stopped :
– after each reinflation or readjustment
of the pressure of one of the tyres.
– when the standard tyre pressure
needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.).
– after changing a wheel.
