Practical information
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
)
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.
Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl 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 PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.
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 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
car tridge, available from PEUGEOT
dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures/
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).
)
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.
)
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.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear * to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P
warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
)
Remove the bolt cover from each of
the bolts using the tool 3
(according to
equipment).
)
Fit the security socket 4
on the wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).
)
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
*
position R
for the electronic gear control
gearbox; P
for the automatic gearbox.

Practical information
Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it
is normal to notice that the washers
do not come into contact with the
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical sur face of
each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
List of operations
)
Put the wheel in place on the hub.
)
Screw in the bolts fully by hand.
)
Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1
fitted with the security
socket 4
.
)
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.

Changing a fuse
Procedure for replacing a failed fuse with a new fuse to rectify a failure of the corresponding function.
The extraction tweezer and spare fuses are
located in the glove box.
Access to the tools
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the failure
must be identified and rectified.
)
Identify the failed fuse by checking the
condition of its filament.
Changing a fuse
Good
Failed
)
Use the special tweezer to extract the fuse
from its housing.
)
Always replace the faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
)
Check that the number marked on the
fusebox, the rating marked on the fuse and
the following tables all agree. PEUGEOT will not accept responsibility
for the cost incurred in repairing your
vehicle or for rectifying malfunctions
resulting from the installation of
accessories not supplied and not
recommended by PEUGEOT and
not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in par ticular when the
combined consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected
exceeds 10 milliamperes.
Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.

Practical information
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 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.
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 incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Ty r e s
)
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.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
