Practical advice -> Tyre inflation kit for Your Renault Clio 4 Door Third Generation (2005-2013)

TYRE INFLATION KIT  
A
Do not attempt to use the  
inflation kit if the tyre has  
been damaged as a result  
of driving with a puncture.  
When driving, vibration may  
be felt due to the presence  
of the repair product in-  
jected into the tyre.  
B
You should therefore carefully check  
the condition of the tyre sidewalls  
before any operation.  
The kit is only approved for inflat-  
ing the tyres of the vehicle originally  
equipped with the kit.  
Driving with underinflated, flat or  
punctured tyres can be dangerous  
and may make the tyre impossible  
to repair.  
It must never be used to inflate the  
tyres of another vehicle, or any other  
inflatable object (rubber ring, rubber  
boat, etc.).  
This repair is temporary  
Avoid spillage on skin when hand-  
ling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-  
lets do leak out, rinse them off with  
plenty of water.  
A tyre which has been punctured  
should always be inspected (and  
repaired, where possible) by a spe-  
cialist.  
The kit repairs tyres with  
tread A damaged by ob-  
jects smaller than 4 mm. It  
cannot repair all types of  
puncture, such as cuts more than  
4 mm, or cuts in the tyre sidewall B,  
etc.  
Keep the repair kit away from chil-  
dren.  
Contact an approved dealer to re-  
place the inflation tube and repair  
product bottle.  
Do not dispose of the empty bottle  
in the countryside. Return it to an  
approved dealer or to a recycling or-  
ganisation.  
When taking a tyre which has been  
repaired using this kit to be replaced,  
you must inform the specialist.  
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in  
good condition.  
The bottle has a limited service life  
which is indicated on its label. Check  
the expiry date regularly.

In the event of a puncture, use, on  
equipped vehicles, the kit located under  
the luggage compartment carpet: open  
the kit, remove the caps 1 and 4 (it is  
essential not to remove the cap from  
the bottle) and screw the bottle 2 onto  
its base A.  
With the ignition on,  
– press switch 3 to inflate the tyre to  
the recommended pressure (refer to  
the information on “Tyre pressure”);  
– adapter 8 must be connected to  
the accessories socket on the dash-  
board 9 of the vehicle;  
– after a maximum of 7 minutes, stop  
inflating and read the pressure (on  
the pressure gauge 5).  
– unscrew the valve cap of the wheel  
concerned and screw on the inflation  
adapter 6;  
Note: while the bottle is emptying  
(approximately 30 seconds), the  
pressure gauge 5 will indicate briefly  
a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-  
sure drops.  
Before using this kit, park  
the vehicle at a sufficient  
distance from traffic, switch  
on the hazard warning  
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all  
passengers to leave the vehicle and  
keep them away from traffic.  
Do not pull out the foreign  
body causing the puncture  
if it is still in the tyre.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (continued)  
Affix the driving recommendation label  
to the dashboard where it can easily be  
seen by the driver;  
Precautions when using the  
kit  
The kit should not be operated for more  
than 15 consecutive minutes.  
Put the kit away.  
Start driving immediately, and after 6  
miles (10 kilometres) or 10 minutes of  
driving, stop to check the tyre pressure.  
If it is above 1.3 bar, adjust it to the rec-  
ommended pressure (refer to the infor-  
mation on “Tyre pressures”), otherwise  
contact an approved dealer: repair is  
not possible.  
3
Nothing should be placed  
around the driver’s feet  
as such objects may slide  
under the pedals during  
sudden braking manoeuvres and  
obstruct their use.

– adjust the pressure: to increase  
it, continue inflation with the kit, to  
reduce it, press button 7 located on  
the inflation adapter.  
Following repair with the kit,  
do not travel further than  
120 miles (200 km). In addi-  
tion, reduce your speed and  
under no circumstances exceed  
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which  
you must affix in a prominent posi-  
tion on the dashboard, reminds you  
of this.  
If the correct pressure cannot be  
achieved, repair is impossible. Do  
not drive the vehicle. Consult an ap-  
proved dealer.  
Please be aware that a  
poorly tightened or miss-  
ing valve cap can make the  
tyres less airtight and may  
lead to pressure loss.  
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,  
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-  
flation adapter 6 to prevent any repair  
product from escaping and screw the  
hose to the bottle opening to prevent  
the product from escaping.  
Depending on the country or local  
legislation, a tyre repaired with the  
inflation kit will need to be replaced.  
Always use valve caps identical to  
those fitted originally and tighten  
them fully.
