In the event of a breakdown

Placing the triangle on the

road

► Place the triangle behind the vehicle, as

required by the legislation in force in your

country.

Warning triangle (storage)

Temporary puncture

repair kit

This safety device is used in addition to the

hazard warning lamps.

Its presence in the vehicle is mandatory.

The triangle may be stowed under the boot

carpet (in the storage well) or, depending on

version, under the front passenger seat.

Scan the QR Code on page 3 to view

explanatory videos.

The triangle is available as an accessory;

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

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.

Before leaving your vehicle to set up and

install the triangle, switch on the hazard

warning lamps and put on your high visibility

vest.

Running out of fuel

(Diesel)

With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be

primed if you run out of fuel.

Before starting to prime the system, it is

essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the

fuel tank.

Only the 12 V socket at the front of the

vehicle allows the compressor to be

connected for long enough to repair or inﬂate

the vehicle tyre.

The other 12 V sockets of the vehicle are not

designed to be used with the compressor.

For more information on Refuelling and

on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please

refer to the corresponding section.

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.

► Switch on the compressor by moving switch

to position "I" until the tyre pressure reaches

2 bars. The sealant product is injected under

pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect the

pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of

blowback).

► Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant

to the valve of the tyre to be repaired 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.

If after approximately 7 minutes the

pressure of 2 bars is not reached, this

indicates that the tyre is not repairable;

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop for assistance.

► 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.

► 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.

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).

► Remove and store the bottle of sealant.

The sealant product is harmful if

swallowed and causes irritation to the

eyes.
