This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure 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).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3

n case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit. The alert persists until the reference
pressure values are reinitialised once the
tyre or tyres concerned are reinflated,
repaired or replaced. In case of tyre repair
or replacement, the sensor identifiers
must be logged by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Resetting the reference
pressures
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
