and screw the ring E
onto the tyre valve,
- start the engine,

- insert the connector G
into the nearest
power socket on the vehicle,

- switch on the compressor by placing the
switch F
in position I
(on),

- inflate the tyre to a pressure of 4 bars.
To obtain a more accurate reading, you are
advised to check the pressure value on the
pressure gauge H
, with the compressor off.

- check that the switch F
on the
compressor is in position 0 (off), This temporary puncture repair kit is located
at the front of the passenger compartment.
It consists of:

is not
reached within 5 minutes, disconnect
the compressor from the valve and the
power socket, then move the vehicle
forward by approximately 10 metres to
distribute the sealant fluid inside the
tyre.

- Then repeat the inflating operation:


●
if a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes, switch off
your vehicle: the tyre has suffered
too much damage and repair has not
been possible. Consult a PEUGEOT
