Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing 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.

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 PEUGEOT
dealer for assistance. T y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n

Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.
Adjust the pressure using the
c o m p r e s s o r ( t o i n fl a t e : s w i t c h B in
position "I" ; t o d e fl a t e : s w i t c h B in
position "O" and press button C ), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
Turn the selector A to the
"Air" position.
Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel.
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer
as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that
you have used this kit. After inspec-
tion, the technician will inform you
whether the tyre can be repaired or
must be replaced.

A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for as-
sistance.
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).

indicated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for
single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it to
an authorised waste disposal site or
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from PEUGEOT
dealers.
Removing the cartridge
Stow the black pipe.
Detach the angled base from the
white pipe.
Support the compressor vertically.
Unscrew the cartridge from the
bottom. Checking tyre pressures/

You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.
If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i fi c a n t s t r e s s a n d
the driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and that
t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e t o w b a r i s e n t r u s t e d
