TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the"Identifi cation markings" para-
graph) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehi-
cle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature wear of the tyres, particu-
larly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnet-
ic 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.
The speed has to be above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, 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 lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come on
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function screen locating the
wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden ediate
the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very defl ated tyre), and Change the damaged wheel (punc-
have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
