PRACTICAL INFORMATION



)
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 fl uid. Keep
the kit to hand.

)
Drive immediately for approximately three miles (fi ve 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 start the compressor before connecting the white pipe to
the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through the
pipe.



Tyre under-inflation detection

If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-infl ation detection,
the under-infl ation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel
has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


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 qualifi ed workshop for assistance.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHANGING A WHEEL


Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear (position P
for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specifi c to your vehicle, it is stored in the
glove box.
Wheelbrace: for removal of the wheel fi xing
bolts.
Jack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.

TOOLS REQUIRED *

Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt fi nishers (covers) on alloy wheels.

*
Depending on the country of sale, the vehicle may be equipped with
the tools needed to change a wheel and a spare wheel (see following
pages).

REMOVING THE WHEEL


)
Place the jack in contact with one of the two front A
or rear B

locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the
