Repair procedure

1. Sealing

ꢀ

Switch off the ignition.

Turn the selector A to the "sealant"

position.

ꢀ

Uncoil the white pipe G fully.

ꢀ

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle and leave the engine

Take care, this product is harmful

(e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if

swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.

Keep this product out of the reach of

children.

Do not start the compressor before

connecting the white pipe to the tyre

valve: the sealant product would be

expelled through the pipe.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies

which have penetrated into the tyre.

263

Practical information

ꢀ

Switch on the compressor by moving

the switch B to position "I" until the tyre

pressure reaches 2.0 bars.

The sealant is injected into the tyre under

pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from

the valve during this operation (risk of

splashing).

ꢀ

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on

the white pipe.

Take care to avoid staining your vehicle

with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.

Drive immediately for approximately

three miles (five kilometres), at reduced

speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and

60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.

Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit.

Tyre under-inﬂation

detection

After repair of the tyre, the warning

lamp will remain on until the system is

reinitialised.

For more information, refer to the

"Under-inflation detection" section.

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the

pressure is not attained, this indicates

that the tyre is not repairable; contact

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop for assistance.

2. Inﬂation

ꢀ

Turn the selector A to the "air"

position.

Uncoil the black pipe H fully.

Connect the black pipe to the

valve of the wheel.

ꢀ

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle again and leave the

engine running.

ꢀ

Adjust the pressure using the compressor

(to inflate: switch B in position "I"; to

deflate: switch B in position "O" and press

button C), in accordance with the vehicle's

tyre pressure label (located on the left hand

door aperture).

ꢀ

A loss of pressure indicates that the

puncture has not been fully plugged;

contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified

workshop for assistance.

As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

You must inform the technician that you

have used this kit. After inspection, the

technician will advise you on whether

the tyre can be repaired or if it must be

replaced.

ꢀ

Remove and stow the kit.

Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]

max) limiting the distance travelled to

approximately 120 miles (200 km).

authorised waste disposal site or a

CITROËN dealer.

Do not forget to obtain a new sealant

cartridge, available from CITROËN

dealers or from a qualified workshop.
