2011.5 Citroen DS4 RHD tyre pressure

Temporary puncture repair kit
and a sealant car tridge which permits
temporary repair of a tyre so that you can rdrive 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 Imust beaffixed to the vehicle's steering wheelto remind you that a wheel is intemporary 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.Compartment housing:


- a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,

- various in
flation adaptors for
accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres... F
.Sealant cartridge.G. White pipe with cap for repair.
H. Black pipe for inflation.I.
Speed limit sticker.
This kit is installed in the stora
ge box, under the boot floor.

)Switch on the compressor by movingthe switch Bto 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 o
f 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.
Do not star t the compressor beforeconnecting the white pipe to the tyrevalve: the sealant product would beexpelled through the pipe.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflationwarning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes thepressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.

247Practical information

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 thepuncture 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 Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel.
) Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
) Star t the vehicle again and leave theengine running.
)Visit a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop as soon aspossible. You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician willinform you whether the tyre can be
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/
inflatin
g 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 partly used, itmust be replaced. After use, do not discard the car tridge into the environment, take it to anauthorised waste disposal site or aCITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealantcartridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or from a qualified workshop.

You can also use the com
pressor, without
injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,

- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).
)Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.)Start 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'spressure label. )Remove the kit then stow it.
) Turn the selector A
to the "A ir" 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 adaptorssupplied with the kit first.

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 theheaviest 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 towed load must
be reduced b
y 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.
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 towed load on a long inclinedepends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.


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
t
he engine as soon as possible.

289Technical data

















Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the engine mounting.
B. Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.For more information, contact a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop.

Low tyre pressures increase fuelconsumption.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month. C. Manufacturer's label
.The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying labelaffixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the
following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and ladenconditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by themanufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
