EnglishDriving -> Tyre under-inflation detection for your Peugeot 3008 2016-2023
Driving
– The electric parking brake is being applied.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes the last values stored during
the reinitialisation request into account. It is
therefore essential that the tyre pressure is
correct during the operation. This operation is
the driver’s responsibility.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
6
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 pressures
shown on the label.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault with the system, this
warning lamp flashes for a few moments
on the instrument panel, then remains on,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it 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.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
► Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
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 energy consumption.
The loss of pressure detected may not
always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
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.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system alerts the driver when one or more
tyres have a drop in pressure.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
► If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.

► In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
replaced with one of the same size as the
others, tyre pressures have been adjusted
and the system reinitialised.
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
With the vehicle stationary, the system is
reinitialised via the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu.
► In this menu, select the “Vehicle settings”
tab.
► On this page, select the "Under-inflation
initialisation" function.
► Select "Yes" to confirm.
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
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.

warning lamps light up on the

A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.

The use of this type of spare wheel may
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.

You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
