2010.5 Citroen DS4 wheel

Temporary puncture repair kit
and a sealant car tridge which permits temporar y repair of a tyre so that you can pairdrive to the nearest garage. It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or shoulder.
Access to the kit
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.
Description of the kit
A. "Sealant" or "Air" position selector. B. On "I" /off "O" switch. C. Deflation button. D. Pressure gauge (in bar or p.s.i.). E. Compar tment housing: - a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket, - various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres...
F. Sealant car tridge. G. White pipe with cap for repair. H. Black pipe for inflation. I. Speed limit sticker.
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the boot floor.

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).
 Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
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.
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.
Tyre under-infl ation 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.

2. Infl ation
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 aper ture). A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop for assistance.
 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).
 Turn the selector A to the "air" position.
 Uncoil the black pipe H fully.  Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.
 Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

repaired or must be replaced.

Removing the cartridge
 Stow the black pipe.  Detach the angled base from the white pipe.  Suppor t the compressor ver tically.  Unscrew the car tridge from the bottom.
Checking tyre pressures/
inflating accessories
Beware of discharges of fluid. The expiry date of the fluid is indicated
on the car tridge. The sealant car tridge is designed for single use; even if only par tly 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 car tridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to: - check or adjust the pressureof your tyres, - inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
 Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Star t 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.  Remove the kit then stow it.
 Turn the selector A to the "Air" position.  Uncoil the black pipe H fully.  Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory. If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
