Made up of a compressor and a sealant  
cartridge, it allows you to carry out a temporary  
repair of the tyre so that you can drive to the  
nearest garage.  
It is designed to repair most punctures located  
on the tyre tread.  
The vehicle's electric system allows the  
connection of the compressor to the 2 V  
power supply for long enough to repair a tyre  
after a puncture.  
► Connect the pipe from the compressor to the  
bottle of sealant.  
► Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant  
to the valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten  
firmly.  
For more information on the Tool kit,  
► Check that the compressor switch is in  
position "O".  
refer to the corresponding section.  
► Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under  
the compressor.

In the event of a breakdown  
► Connect the compressor's electric plug to the  
vehicle's 12 V socket.  
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.  
► Affix the speed limit sticker.  
► Move the switch to position "O".  
► Disconnect the compressor's electric plug  
from the vehicle's 12 V socket.  
► Refit the cap on the valve.  
► Remove the kit.  
The speed limit sticker must be secured  
to the interior of the vehicle in the area  
close to the driver, to remind the driver that a  
wheel is in temporary use.  
► 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.  
► 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 in  
standard waste, 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.  
► Stop to check the repair and the tyre  
pressure using the kit.  
The tyre inflation pressures are given on  
this label.  
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).  
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop to have the tyre changed.  
► Switch on the ignition.  
Checking / adjusting tyre  
pressures  
The compressor can be used, without  
injecting sealant, to check and, if necessary,  
adjust the tyre pressures.  
► 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.  
► 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).

In the event of a breakdown  
► Check that the compressor switch is in  
position "O".  
► Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under  
the compressor.  
Removing the spare wheel  
Spare wheel  
8
Access to the spare wheel  
► Connect the compressor's electric plug to the  
vehicle's 12 V socket.  
► Switch on the ignition.  
The tyre inflation pressures are given on  
this label.  
► Unclip the tool storage box (standard spare  
wheel).  
► Slacken the central nut.  
► Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).  
► Lift the spare wheel towards you from the  
rear.  
► 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.  
The spare wheel is installed in the boot, under  
the floor.  
Depending on engine, the spare wheel is  
a standard wheel or the space-saver type  
(BlueHDi).  
Take the wheel out of the boot.  
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.  
If there is no wheel in the well, the  
fastening device (nut and bolt) cannot be  
refitted.  
► Once the correct pressure is reached, put the  
switch in position "O".  
► Remove the kit and stow it.

Parking the vehicle  
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 corresponding section.  
Immobilise the vehicle where it does  
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,  
stable and non-slippery.  
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear  
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
