must wait for 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.

for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:


- the display parameters (date,
time, language, distance unit and
temperature unit),

- the radio stations,

- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed, consult a PEUGEOT.
If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph or
an alarm, disconnection of the negative (-)

tyre valve cap, remove the filling hose B
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:

indicating "max. 80 km/h",
which the driver must affix in full view
(on the dashboard) after repairing
the tyre,

- a quick guide to use of the repair kit,

- a compressor D
equipped with a
pressure gauge and unions,

- adaptors, for the inflation of various
items.

Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 3 bars
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
dealer.

●
if the tyre has been inflated to a
pressure of 4 bars
, set off again
immediately.

After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Adjust the pressure if necessary and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Checking and adjusting the pressure
