Get DRIVING -> Tyre under-inflation detection Guide for Peugeot Rcz 2 Door First Generation (2009-2015)

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION

System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while

driving.

This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures

regularly and before a long journey.

The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as

soon as the vehicle is moving.

Driving with under-inﬂated 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-inﬂated tyres increases fuel consumption.

The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre

pressure label (see the "Identiﬁcation 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.

A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each of these tyres.

The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or

more tyres.

The tyre under-inﬂation detection system is an aid to driving which

does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Spare wheel

Don't forget to also check the tyre pressure of the spare wheel.

The alloy spare wheel also has a sensor.

The steel spare wheel does not have a sensor.

UNdER-INFLATION ALERT

OPERATING FAULT

The alert is given by the ﬁxed illumination of this warning

lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a

message.

The ﬂashing and then ﬁxed illumination of this warning

lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service

warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.

In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, a symbol or a message is

displayed, depending on equipment, to identify it.

In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake

applications.

This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not ﬁtted

with a sensor (steel spare wheel).

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or

the spare wheel (according to equipment),

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop to have the system

checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original

wheel, equipped with a sensor, reﬁtted.

if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair

kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,

if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive

carefully at reduced speed.

The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinﬂated,

repaired or replaced.

With the ignition on, the pressure must be increased by at least

0.2 bar. If necessary, adjust the pressures to the values given on

the tyre pressure label.

The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible

deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
