Tyre pressure loss warning
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
When fitted to the vehicle, this system
notifies the driver if one or more tyres
lose pressure.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure
needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a left-hand or right-
hand wheel (note: this practice is not
recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel if fitted) has a sensor in the
inflation valve which periodically meas-
ures the tyre pressure during driving.
Warning light
1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).
This function is an additional driving aid.
The function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including the emergency spare wheel, once a month.
