TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/7)
SYSTEM A
Operating principle
This system detects a loss of pressure
in one of the tyres by measuring the
wheel speed while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.). Operating conditions
The system has to be reset with an in-
flation pressure equal to that written
on the tyre inflation pressure label.
Otherwise it risks not giving a reliable
warning in the event of a significant loss
of pressure. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4.
In the following situations, the system
risk coming into action late or not func-
tioning 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 distribu- tion of load on one side of the vehi-
cle;
– sporty driving with strong accelera- tion;
– driving on snowy or slippery surface;
– driving with snow chains; – fitting a single new tyre;
– use of tyres not approved by the net-
work.

This function is an additio-
nal driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vi-
gilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (4/7)
SYSTEM A (cntd.)
Relaunch SEt tP
Warning light
 flashes for several
seconds, then stays on.
It indicates that the request to reset the
reference tyre pressure value must be
relaunched.
System unavailable
Warning light
 flashes for several
seconds, then stays on.
Indicates that the vehicle is fitted with
an emergency spare wheel which is
smaller than the other four and is fitted
to the vehicle.
System to be checked
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the orange warning light
Ò.
They indicate a system fault. Please
consult an authorised dealer. Readjustment of tyre pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold
(please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures should be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
After each reinflation or readjustment of
the tyre pressure, launch the reinitiali-
sation of the tyre pressure reference
value.
Replacing wheels/tyres
Only use equipment approved by the
brand network, or the system risks
being activated late or not operating
correctly. Please see the information on
“Tyres” in Section 5. After each change of wheel/tyre, rea-
djust the tyre pressure and launch the
reset of the tyre pressure reference
value.
Emergency spare wheel
If fitted on the vehicle, readjust the tyre
pressure and launch the reinitialisation
of the tyre pressure reference value.
Inflation kit
Only use equipment approved by the
brand network, or the system risks
being activated late or not operating
correctly. Please refer to “Tyre inflation
kit” in Section 5.
After using the tyre inflation kit, readjust
the tyre pressure and launch the reini-
tialisation of the tyre pressure reference
value.

2.26
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (5/7)
SYSTEM B
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.). Resetting the standard level for the
tyre pressures
This should be performed:
– when the standard tyre pressure
needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing wheels around;
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (7/7)
SYSTEM B (cntd.)
Check tyre sensors
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the orange warning light
Ò.
They indicate that at least one tyre is
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency
spare wheel). In other cases, contact
an authorised dealer.
Readjustment of tyre pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures should be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre. Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Contact an authorised dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor.
When fitted to the vehicle, the warn-
ing light
 and the orange warning
light
Ò are displayed on the instru-
ment panel. Inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network. Please refer
to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
