The jack must only be used to change

a wheel with a damaged or punctured

tyre.

Do not use any jack other than the one

supplied with the vehicle.

If the vehicle does not have its original jack,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to obtain the one that was

intended by the manufacturer.

►ꢀ Affix the speed limit sticker.

►ꢀ Remove the transparent cap from the bottle

of sealant.

Should the pressure of one or more

tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to

reinitialise the under-inflation detection

system.

For more information on Tyre under-

inflation detection, refer to the

Repair procedure

Do not remove any foreign body

(e.g. nail, screw) which has penetrated

the tyre.

►ꢀ Switch on the compressor by moving the

switch to position "I" until the tyre pressure

reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected

under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect

the pipe from the valve during this operation

(risk of blowback).

►ꢀ Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic

and apply the parking brake.

►ꢀ Follow the safety instructions (hazard

warning lamps, warning triangle, high visibility

jacket, etc.) according to the legislation in force

in the country in which you are driving.

►ꢀ Uncoil the pipe stowed under the

compressor.

146

In the event of a breakdown

If after approximately 7 minutes, the

pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this

indicates that the tyre is not repairable;

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop for assistance.

Checking/adjusting tyre

pressures

The compressor can be used, without injecting

sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the

tyre pressures.

►ꢀ Move the switch to position "O".

►ꢀ Disconnect the compressor's electric plug

from the vehicle's 12 V socket.

►ꢀ Remove the kit.

►ꢀ Refit the cap on the valve.

►ꢀ Remove the valve cap from the tyre and

keep it in a clean place.

►ꢀ Uncoil the pipe stowed under the

compressor.

►ꢀ Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten

firmly.

►ꢀ Check that the compressor switch is in

position "O".

►ꢀ Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under

the compressor.

►ꢀ Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

►ꢀ Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles

(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between

12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the

puncture.

►ꢀ Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit:

• If the tyre pressure is incorrect, contact a

CITROËN dealer to have the tyre changed.

• If the tyre pressure is correct, drive a

second time for approximately 3 miles

(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between

12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), stop then

check again the tyre pressure using the kit

to confirm the effective repair of the tyre.

►ꢀ Remove and store the bottle of sealant.

The sealant product is harmful if

swallowed and causes irritation to the

eyes.

Keep this product out of the reach of

children.

The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the

bottle.

After use, do not discard the bottle into the

environment; take it to a CITROËN dealer or

an authorised waste disposal site.

Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of

sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

►ꢀ Switch the ignition on.

►ꢀ Start the compressor by placing the switch

at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the

value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label.

To deflate: press the black button located on

the compressor pipe, near the valve connection.

With a tyre repaired using this type of

kit, do not exceed a speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h) and do not drive more than

125 miles (200 km).

You must contact a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop to have the repair

checked and the tyre changed.

If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar

is not reached, the tyre is damaged;

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop for assistance.

►ꢀ Once the correct pressure is reached, put

the switch in position "O".

►ꢀ Remove the kit and stow it.

►ꢀ Refit the cap on the valve.
