Driving
The tyre pressure measurement unit can be
configured with the MODE button: in the "Tyre
pressure measurement" menu, select "psi/bar/
kPa".
For more information on Vehicle
configuration, refer to the corresponding
section.
Under-inflation detection
This system does not relieve you of
the monthly check of the tyre inflation
pressures (including the spare) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Under-inflation warning
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
In the event of a problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
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, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings, including in particular the tyre
pressure label, refer to the corresponding
section.
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
Stop as soon as possible, as traffic
conditions allow.
In case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
-
In the event of under-inflation:
•
if you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit)
check the pressures of the four tyres
when cold.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
