1. Sealing
Uncoil the white pipe G fully. Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
Repair procedure
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre.
Connect the compressor’s electric plug to the vehicle’s 12 V socket.
Star t the vehicle and leave the engine running.
Switch off the ignition. Turn the selector A to the "SEALANT"
position. Check that the switch B is in position "O" .
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes. Keep it out of reach of children.

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

207Practical information
Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B . Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the flat battery A .
Star t the slave vehicle. Operate the star ter of the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run. Wait until the engine returns to idle and disconnect the cables.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
Batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, be discarded with household waste. Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the charger. Reconnect star ting with the negative terminal (-). Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.
The Stop & Star t battery does not have to be disconnected for charging. It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.

213Practical information
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving advice
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 per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towing load must be reduced by 10 % and so on for every 1 000 metres of altitude. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towing loads which apply to your vehicle.
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. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
