Système de surveillance de pression des pneumatiques (X95 - B95 - D95 - Renault)ENG_NU_966-1_BDK95_Renault_2
This system monitors the tyre pressure.
Depending on the vehicle, the infor-
mation is displayed on the instrument
panel. In this case, they appear:
– with the ignition on, when scrolling
through the trip computer and warn-
ing system information by pressing
control 3 (refer to the information
on the “trip computer and warning
system” in Section 1);
– or if there is a fault when driving
(refer to the following pages to find
out more about the warning mes-
sages).
Tyre pressure monitor
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the
display 1 and trip computer and warn-
ing system 2 that the tyres are suf-
ficiently inflated and warns if they are
underinflated or leaking.
The tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing a wheel
If you wish to change your wheels (fit-
ting winter tyres etc.), the system will
reset itself automatically after approx-
imately two minutes driving at a mini-
mum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po-
sitions and pressures to be recog-
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.
