PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The temporary tyre repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle (containing a
sealant).
Using the kit
1. Tick the deflated wheel on the speed
limitation sticker then affix the sticker to
the vehicle’s steering wheel to remind
you that a wheel is in temporary use.
2. Clip the bottle 1 on the compressor 2 .
3. Connect the bottle 1 to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired.
4. Take care to unwind the compressor
pipe before connecting it to the bottle.
5. Connect the power lead to one of the
vehicle’s 12 V sockets.
6. Switch on the compressor by pressing
button A until the tyre pressure reaches
2.0 bars. If this pressure cannot be
reached, the tyre cannot be repaired.
7. Remove and store the compressor.
8. Drive immediately, for a few miles
(kilometres), at reduced speed, to fill the
puncture.
9. Adjust the pressure using the
compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is filled correctly (no
further loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h]). The tyre must be examined
and repaired by a professional as soon
as possible. After use, the bottle can be stored in a
plastic bag, supplied in the kit, to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid.
Warning: the bottle of gel contains
ethylene-glycol, a product which is
harmful if swallowed and which causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the
environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer or
to an specialised waste disposal site.
Replacement bottles of sealant are available
from CITROËN dealers.
Vehicles supplied with a temporary puncture
repair kit do not have a spare wheel or
tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).
