UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is
moving.
It compares the information given by
the four wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be
reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects a drop in the ination
pressure of one or more tyres.
The under-ination detection
system 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 (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inated tyres
impairs road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
condition (high loading, high speed,
long journey).
Driving with under-inated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The ination pressures dened for
your vehicle can be found on the
tyre pressure label.
For more information on the
identication 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).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
