Driving -> Under-inflation detection for Your Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Driving  
The system monitors the pressure in all four  
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.  
Operating faults  
The tyre pressure specifications for your  
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure  
label.  
For more information on the  
Identification 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.  
It compares the information given by the  
wheel speed sensors with reference values,  
which must be reinitialised after every tyre  
pressure adjustment or wheel change.  
The system triggers an alert as soon as it  
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more  
tyres.  
When the function is not activated,  
this warning lamp temporarily  
flashing and an audible signal  
indicate a system fault.  
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,  
the warning lamp goes off.  
If the fault in the parking sensors,  
indicated by this warning lamp  
coming on, occurs during use, it  
causes the function to deactivate.  
The tyre under-inflation detection system  
does not replace the need for vigilance on  
the part of the driver.  
This system still requires you to check  
the tyre inflation pressures (including  
the spare wheel) every month as well as  
before a long journey.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs  
handling, extends braking distances and  
causes early tyre wear, particularly in  
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high  
speeds, long journeys).  
In the event of a fault, have the system checked  
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Snow chains  
The system does not have to be  
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow  
chains.  
In the event of a fault with the  
power steering, this warning lamp  
flashes in the instrument panel,  
accompanied by a message.

Under-inflation alert  
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
This warning is indicated by fixed  
illumination of this warning lamp, an  
audible signal and, depending on  
the equipment installed, a message  
displayed on the screen.  
Under-inꢀation detection  
This system automatically monitors the tyre  
pressure while driving.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres  
increases fuel consumption.  
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive  
steering movements and sudden braking.  
F
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure  
that the pressures of the four tyres  
are correct for the conditions of use  
of the vehicle and conform to 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.  
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.  
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual  
check.  
The reinitialisation is carried  
out via the vehicle configuration  
menu.  
F In the event of a puncture, use the  
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare  
wheel (depending on equipment),  
or  
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,  
or  
The under-inflation detection system  
does not give a warning if a pressure is  
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.  
Malfunction  
F if it is not possible to carry out this check  
immediately, drive carefully at reduced  
speed.  
The system is initialised with the ignition on and  
the vehicle stationary.  
The 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.  
The new pressure parameters saved  
are considered reference values by the  
system.  
The alert is kept active until the system is  
reinitialised.  
Without audio system  
Reinitialisation  
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
The system must be reinitialised after any  
adjustment to the pressure of one or more  
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.  
Before doing anything to the system,  
the pressures of the four tyres must be  
checked and the system reinitialised.  
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then  
release it, an audible signal confirms the  
reinitialisation.
