Temporary puncture repair kit

This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant

cartridge.

Description of the kit

It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.

You are then able to go to the nearest garage.

It is designed to repair most punctures which

could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread

or shoulder.

Its compressor can be used to check and

adjust the pressure of the tyre.

A. "Sealant" or "Air" position selector.

B. On "I" / off "O" switch.

C. Deflation button.

D. Pressure gauge (in bar and psi).

E. Compartment housing:

F. Sealant cartridge.

G. White pipe with cap for repair.

H. Black pipe for inflation.

I. Speed limit sticker.

Access to the kit

-

a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,

various inflation adaptors for

accessories, such as balls,

bicycle tyres...

The speed limit sticker I must be affixed

to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind

you that a wheel is in temporary use.

Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre

repaired using this type of kit.

The vehicle's electric system allows the

connection of a compressor for long

enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture

repair or for inflating a small inflatable

accessory.

This kit is installed in the storage box, under the

boot floor.

Repair procedure

1. Sealing

F

Switch off the ignition.

F

Uncoil the white pipe G fully.

F

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle and leave the engine

running.

Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.

Connect the white pipe to the valve of the

tyre to be repaired.

F

Turn the selector A to the

"sealant" position.

Check that the switch B is in

position "O".

F

Do not start the compressor before

connecting the white pipe to the tyre

valve: the sealant product would be

expelled through the pipe.

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.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies

which have penetrated into the tyre.

240

In the event of a breakdown

F

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).

F

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on

the white pipe.

Tyre under-inﬂation detection

If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-

inflation detection, the under-inflation

warning lamp will remain on after the

wheel has been repaired until the system

is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

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.

8

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

F

Turn the selector A to the "air"

position.

Uncoil the black pipe H fully.

Connect the black pipe to the

valve of the wheel.

F

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle again and leave the

engine running.

F

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).

F

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.

F

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).

Removing the cartridge

Checking tyre pressures / inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, without

injecting any product, to:

-

check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,

inflate other accessories (balls,

bicycle tyres...).

F

Stow the black pipe.

Detach the angled base from the white pipe.

Support the compressor vertically.

Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.

F

Connect the compressor's electrical

connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle and let the engine run.

Adjust the pressure using the compressor

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

to deflate: switch B in position "O" and

press button C), according to the vehicle's

tyre pressure label or the accessory's

pressure label.

F

Beware of discharges of fluid.

The expiry date of the fluid is indicated

on the cartridge.

The sealant cartridge is designed for

single use; even if only partly used, it

must be replaced.

After use, do not discard the cartridge

into the environment, take it to an

authorised waste disposal site or a

CITROËN dealer.

F

Turn the selector A to the "Air"

position.

valve of the wheel or accessory.

If necessary, fit one of the adaptors

supplied with the kit first.
