- Apply the parking brake. Unscrew the
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:
- a cartridge A
, containing the sealant
fluid, equipped with:
●
a filling hose B
,

a sticker C
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 CITROËN
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 CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Checking and adjusting the pressure
The compressor can only be used to check
and adjust the pressure.
- Disconnect the hose I
and connect it to
the tyre valve directly; the cartridge will
then be connected to the compressor
and the filling fluid will not be injected.
If it is necessary to deflate the tyre, connect
the hose I
to the tyre valve and press the
yellow button, placed in the centre of the
switch on the compressor.
Replacing the sealant fluid cartridge
To replace the cartridge, carry out the
following operations:
- disconnect the hose I
,
- turn the cartridge to be replaced
anticlockwise and lift it,
- insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise,
- reconnect the hose I
and connect the
hose B
in its location.
The cartridge contains ethylene-glycol,
a product which is harmful if swallowed
and which causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the cartridge in the
environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer
or to an organisation responsible for its
collection.
This replacement kit is available from
CITROËN dealers.
