steering movements and avoid sudden braking.  
► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do  
so.

– worsens road-holding.  
– lengthens braking distances.  
– causes premature wear of the tyres.  
– increases fuel consumption.  
The system does not advise if a pressure is  
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.  
The loss of pressure detected does not  
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.  
Do not rely on just a visual check.  
With the vehicle stationary, the  
system is reinitialised via  
the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu..  
The inflation pressures defined for the  
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure  
label.  
For more information on the Identification  
markings, refer to the corresponding section.  
► Using a compressor, such as the one in  
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the  
pressures of the four tyres when cold.  
► If it is not possible to make this check  
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.  
► In the event of a puncture, use the  
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel  
(depending on equipment).  
Malfunction  
These warning lamps come on in  
the event of a malfunction.  
A message appears, accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring  
function is no longer performed.  
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Checking tyre pressures  
This check should be done when the  
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or  
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at  
moderate speeds).  
The alert is kept active until the system is  
reinitialised.  
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures  
shown on the label.  
Driving and manoeuvring  
aids - General  
recommendations  
Reinitialisation  
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or  
more tyre pressures and after changing one or  
more wheels.  
Snow chains  
The system does not have to be  
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow  
chains.  
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in  
any circumstances, replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The driver must comply with the Highway  
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in  
all circumstances and must be able to retake  
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt  
Before reinitialising the system, make  
sure that the pressures of the four tyres  
are correct for the conditions of use of the  
Under-inflation alert  
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

certain types of paint could interfere with the  
operation of the radar.  
Other cameras  
The images from the camera(s)  
displayed on the touch screen or on the  
instrument panel may be distorted by the  
relief.  
In the presence of areas in shade, or in  
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate  
lighting, the image may be darkened and with  
lower contrast.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
check the traffic, to assess the relative  
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to  
anticipate their movements before indicating  
and changing lane.  
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the  
laws of physics.  
Driving aids camera  
This camera and its associated functions  
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen  
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,  
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or  
masked by a sticker.  
On versions with camera alone, this message  
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed:  
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see  
user guide".  
Obstacles may appear further away than they  
actually are.  
Driving aids  
You should hold the steering wheel  
with both hands, always use the interior and  
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the  
feet close to the pedals and take a break  
every two hours.  
Sensors  
The operation of the sensors as well as  
the associated functions may be disturbed  
by sound interference such as that emitted  
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,  
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of  
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the  
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.  
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible  
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors  
may be dirty.  
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can  
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not  
always detected by the system: distance  
measurements may be distorted.  
The sensors do not systematically detect  
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)  
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).  
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind  
spots may not be detected or may no longer  
be detected during the manoeuvre.  
Manoeuvring aids  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
The driver must always check the  
surroundings of the vehicle before and during  
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the  
mirrors.  
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,  
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle  
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,  
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,  
alternating shade and light) can also impair  
detection performance.  
In the event of a windscreen replacement,  
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop to recalibrate the camera;  
otherwise, the operation of the associated  
driving aids may be disrupted.  
Radar  
The operation of the radar as well as the  
associated functions may be impaired through  
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in  
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy  
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.  
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact  
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;

Units of speed  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are  
those for the country you are driving in.  
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is  
stationary, set the display to the required  
units of speed so that it complies with what is  
authorised locally.  
You should update your navigation  
mapping regularly in order to receive  
accurate speed limit information from the
