In the event of a breakdown

Temporary puncture repair kit

This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant

Access to the kit

Tyre under-inﬂation detection

cartridge.

It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.

You are then able to go to the nearest garage.

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.

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.

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.

Only the 12 V socket at the front of

the vehicle allows the connection of the

compressor for long enough to repair or

inflate a tyre.

The other 12 V sockets in the vehicle

are not suited to the use of the

compressor.

(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre

repaired using this type of kit.

Repair procedure

1. Sealing

F

Switch off the ignition.

Turn the selector A to the

"sealant" position.

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

Check that the switch B is in position "O".

Take care, this product is harmful 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.

₂₆₃08

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.

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.

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 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.

In the event of a breakdown

2. Inﬂation

F

Turn the selector A to the "Air"

position.

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

Uncoil the white pipe G fully.

Connect the white pipe to the tyre valve.

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).

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.

Do not forget to obtain a new sealant

cartridge, available from CITROËN

dealers or from a qualified workshop.

pipe by turning it a quarter turn anti-

clockwise.

To fit the new cartridge and new pipe, carry out

these operations in reverse order.
