TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/5)

B

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).

A

Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.

Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-

lets do leak out, rinse them off with

plenty of water.

This repair is temporary

Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.

A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and re-

paired, where possible) as soon as

possible by a specialist.

Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.

The kit repairs tyres when

tread A has been dam-

aged by objects smaller

than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts

larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre

sidewall B.

When taking a tyre which has been

repaired using this kit to be replaced,

you must inform the specialist.

The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.

When driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

Ensure also that the wheel rim is in

good condition.

Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

Do not pull out the foreign body

causing the puncture if it is still in

the tyre.

the label affixed to the edge of the

driver’s door);

– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop

inflating and read the pressure (on

pressure gauge 4);

Inflation kit E

Depending on the vehicle, in the event

of a puncture, use the kit located in

storage compartment C or underneath

luggage compartment carpet D.

Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the

cap must not be removed from the

bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its base 3.

Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), pres-

sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a

pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure

will drop.

If the vehicle is parked on

the hard shoulder, you must

warn other road users of

Engine running, parking brake ap-

plied:

Precautions when using the kit

E

The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

– store the kit;

– at the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the

tyre; you must drive a short distance

in order to seal the hole;

9

Please be aware that a

poorly tightened or miss-

ing valve cap can make the

tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.

– start immediately and drive at be-

tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and

60 km/h) in order to distribute the

product evenly in the tyre and, after

driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and

check the pressure;

Always use valve caps identical to

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

8

– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar

but less than the recommended

pressure (refer to the label affixed to

the edge of the driver’s door), read-

just it. Otherwise, please contact an

authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be

repaired.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;

– close the integrated cap on the bottle

again;

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

under no circumstances exceed

48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,

which you must affix in a prominent

position on the dashboard, reminds

you of this.

Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

inflation kit may need to be replaced.

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.
