Adjustment

 When stationary, pull the control to
unlock the steering wheel.

 Adjust the height and depth.

 Push the control to lock the steering
wheel.
As a safety precaution, it is impera-
tive that these operations are carried
out while the vehicle is stationary.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install
a wheel which is not detected by
your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation features" paragraph)
to ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears on the multifunction
display, accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel concerned.


 Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold. This warning light and the
STOP
warning light come on on the
instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction display
locating the wheel concerned.


Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.

 Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very defl ated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears on the multifunction
display, accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor.
