Under-inflation alert
This is given by xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and,
depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
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-ination alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-ination detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected
does not always cause visible
bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
The alert is maintained until the
system is reinitialised.
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and
sudden braking.
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
F If you have a compressor, such as
the one in the temporary puncture
repair kit, check the pressures of
the four tyres when cold.
F If it is not possible to make this
check immediately, drive carefully
at reduced speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (depending on
equipment).
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system
every time one or more tyre pressures
are adjusted, and after changing one
or more wheels.
