Peugeot Partner Tepee II (2017-present) tyre under-inflation detection: both systems, what to do on an alert, reinitialising and the pressure label.
Hello and welcome. In this post we cover tyre under-inflation detection on the Peugeot Partner Tepee II (2017-present). We look at the two detection systems, what to do when the alert comes on, reinitialising the system and finding the tyre pressure label.

This system automatically monitors the pressures of the four tyres as soon as the vehicle is moving. A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre, except the spare wheel. The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the pressure of one or more tyres.
The system does not replace your own checks. You still need to check the tyre pressures, including the spare wheel, every month and before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs handling, extends braking distances and causes early tyre wear, particularly with heavy loads, at high speeds or on long journeys. It also increases fuel consumption.
Under-inflation alert
The under-inflation warning lamp comes on and stays on, with an audible signal and, depending on equipment, a message. Depending on equipment, a symbol or message also shows which tyre has the problem.
A loss of pressure does not always make the tyre bulge visibly, so do not rely on a visual check alone. The alert stays on until the tyre or tyres concerned are reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel, whether a space-saver or a steel rim type, does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
If the under-inflation warning lamp flashes and then stays on, together with the Service warning lamp and, depending on equipment, a message, the system has a fault. Tyre pressure monitoring is then no longer assured. This alert also appears when one or more wheels have no sensor, for example a space-saver or steel spare wheel.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, after a puncture repair, to have the original wheel with its sensor refitted.
This system monitors the pressure in all four tyres once the vehicle is moving. It compares information from the wheel speed sensors with reference values. These reference values 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.
The system does not replace your own vigilance. You still need to check the tyre pressures, including the spare wheel, every month and before a long journey. Under-inflated tyres impair handling, extend braking distances and cause early tyre wear, particularly with heavy loads, at high speeds or on long journeys. They also increase fuel consumption.
Under-inflation alert
The under-inflation warning lamp comes on and stays on, with an audible signal and, depending on equipment, a message.
A loss of pressure does not always make the tyre bulge visibly, so do not settle for a visual check. The alert stays active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting the pressure of one or more tyres and after changing one or more wheels. Before you do, make sure all four tyres are at the correct pressures for how you are using the vehicle, as shown on the tyre pressure label. The system gives no warning if a pressure is wrong at the time of reinitialisation, so the alert can only be relied on if all four tyres were correctly inflated when you reinitialised it.
Reinitialise with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary. Use the vehicle configuration menu if your car has a screen, or the button on the dashboard if it does not.

The system then uses the new pressures as its reference values. You do not need to reinitialise after fitting or removing snow chains.
Operating fault
If the under-inflation warning lamp flashes and then stays on, together with the Service warning lamp, the system has a fault and under-inflation monitoring is no longer assured. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. After any work on the system, check the pressures of all four tyres and reinitialise it.
Your Partner Tepee carries three identification markings, including the tyre pressure label.
Scroll the table sideways.
| Marking | Where | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| A. Manufacturer's plate | - | 1. VF type serial number; 2. Gross vehicle weight (GVW); 3. Gross train weight (GTW); 4.1. Maximum weight on the front axle; 4.2. Maximum weight on the rear axle |
| B. Serial number | Engraved on the front right wheel arch | The serial number |
| C. Tyres and paint colour code | On the front door | Wheel and tyre sizes; tyre pressures, unladen and laden; spare tyre inflation pressure; paint colour code |
Check the tyre pressures when cold, at least once a month.
If the lamp stays on with an audible signal, the system has detected a drop in pressure in one or more tyres. Reduce speed immediately, avoid sudden steering and braking, and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
A flashing then fixed under-inflation lamp with the Service warning lamp means the system has a fault and tyre pressure monitoring is no longer assured. On the sensor-based system, this also happens when a wheel without a sensor, such as the spare wheel, is fitted.
On the version with reinitialisation, inflate all four tyres to the pressures on the label, then reinitialise with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary using the screen menu, or by holding the dashboard button if your car has no screen. A high-pitched signal confirms it has worked.
The label is on the front door. It shows the wheel and tyre sizes, the tyre pressures unladen and laden, the spare tyre pressure and the paint colour code.
The under-inflation detection system is a useful backup, but it does not replace your own checks. Check all the tyres, including the spare, when cold every month and before long journeys, and if you have the reinitialisation version, remember to reinitialise it after every pressure adjustment or wheel change.
