Instruments and controls
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTIONEMISSIONS CONTROLS
This system continuously
monitors the pressures of
the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
on emissions limits of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected
by oxygen sensors placed
downstream of the catalytic
converters,
- particles.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-ination detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identication
markings" section.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have it
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualied workshop.
