Peugeot 208 2012-2019 Owner's Manual Driving Under-inflation detection

6Driving151208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Under-inflation detectionThe under-inflation 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-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous condition (high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label.See the "Identification markings" 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.Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.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 inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
Driving152208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016Under-inflation alertThe loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.FReduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking.FStop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.FIn the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment),orFif you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold,orFif it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.The under-inflation alert can only be relied on if the system has been reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to the correct pressures.Snow chainsThe system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
6Driving153208_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016ReinitialisationIt is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted, 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 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-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.FWith the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about 3 seconds then release it, an audible signal confirms the reinitialisation.The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the system.Reinitialisation of the system is done with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary.FPress "Under-inflation initialisation".From the "Driving assistance" menu of the touch screen:FConfirm the instruction by pressing "Yes", an audible signal and a message confirm the reinitialisation.Operating faultThe flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by illumination of the Service warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the tyres is no longer assured.Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Touch screenScreen ABefore doing anything to the system, the pressures of the four tyres must be checked and the system reinitialised.
