- 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

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 fluidcartridge

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 PEUGEOT dealer or
to an organisation responsible for its collection.
This replacement kit is available from
