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.

)
Turn the selector A
to the "air" position.
)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.
)
Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.
As soon as possible, go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can
be repaired or if it must be replaced.
)
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
)
Start the vehicle again and leave the engine running.
)
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to infl ate: switch B
in position "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in position "O"
and press
button C
), in accordance with the vehicle's tyre pressure label
(located on the left hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully
plugged; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualifi ed 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).

CHECKING TYRE PRESSURES / INFLATING
ACCESSORIES
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- infl ate 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, fi t one of the adaptors supplied with the kit fi rst.
)
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 infl ate: switch B
in position "I"
; to defl ate: 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.

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
wheel to be changed.
)
Raise the vehicle until there is suffi cient space between the wheel
and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
)
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.
)
Remove the wheel.
)
Remove the cover on each of the bolts using the bolt cover removal
tool.
)
Fit the security socket on the wheelbrace to slacken the security
bolt.
)
Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace only.
)
Extend the jack until its base plate is in contact with the ground.
Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below
the location A
or B
used.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
FITTING THE WHEEL
)
Put the wheel in place on the hub.
)
Screw in the bolts by hand.
)
Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace fi tted with the
security socket.
)
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace only.
)
Lower the vehicle fully.
)
Fold the jack and detach it.
)
Tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace fi tted with the
security socket.
)
Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace only.
)
Refi t the covers on each of the bolts.
)
Store the tools in the storage box.
After changing a wheel
Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the new wheel
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.

TOOLS AND SPARE WHEEL *
Depending on the country of sale, the vehicle is equipped with the tools
needed to change a wheel and may also be equipped with a spare
wheel.
The spare wheel is stowed in a protective cover, secured to the boot
fl oor with Velcro
®.
The tools are held in a storage box under the boot fl oor.
Never drive with the rear seat folded when the
spare wheel - or a punctured wheel - is present
in the boot.
Warning marking
"Do not release the backrest of the rear seats!"
*
According to country.
Access to the spare wheel *
)
Open the boot lid.
)
Remove the spare wheel by grasping the grip of its protective
cover.
)
Position the wheel vertically so as to read the warning markings.
)
Remove the Velcro
® located on the tyre tread.
)
Detach the straps, located on each sidewall, then slacken them.
)
Remove the wheel from its protective cover.
When refi tting the wheel into its cover, place it so that the valve is
opposite the strap fi xings.
