Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,  once  the  vehicle  is  moving.
It
 compares  the  information  given  by  the  four Â
w
heel  speed  sensors  with  reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
 system  triggers  an  alert  as  soon  as  it Â
d
etects  a  drop  in  the  inflation  pressure  of  one Â
o
r  more  tyres. The
 under-inflation  detection  system Â
d
oes  not  replace  the  need  for  vigilance Â
o
n  the  part  of  the  driver.
This
 system  does  not  avoid  the  need  to Â
c
heck  the  tyre  pressures  (including  the Â
s
pare  wheel)  every  month  as  well  as Â
b
efore  a  long  journey.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres  impairs Â
r
oad  holding,  extends  braking  distances Â
a
nd  causes  premature  tyre  wear, Â
p
articularly  under  arduous  condition Â
(
high  loading,  high  speed,  long  journey).
System
 which  automatically  checks  the  pressures  of  the  tyres  while  driving.
The  inflation  pressures  defined  for Â
y
our  vehicle  can  be  found  on  the  tyre Â
p
ressure  label.
See
 the  "Identification  markings" Â
s
ection.
Tyre
 pressures  should  be  checked Â
w
hen  the  tyres  are  "cold"  (vehicle Â
s
topped  for  1  hour  or  after  a  journey  of Â
l
ess  than  6  miles  (10  km)  at  moderate Â
s
peeds).
Other wise
 (when  hot),  add  0.3  bar  to Â
t
he  pressures  shown  on  the  label.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres Â
i
ncreases  fuel  consumption.

This is given by fixed illumination of t

quipment,  the  display  of  a  message. It
 is  necessary  to  reinitialise  the  system  every  t

The

correct  for  the  use  of  the  vehicle  and  in Â
