2 . I n fl a t i o n 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 inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: 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 CITROËN dealer or qualified 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).
As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 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.
Turn the selector A to the "air" position. Uncoil the black pipe H fully. Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.

Removing the cartridge
Stow the black pipe. Detach the angled base from the white pipe. Support the compressor vertically. Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid. The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the cartridge. The sealant cartridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it must be replaced. After use, do not discard the cartridge into the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant cartridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to: - check or adjust the pressure of your tyres, - inflate 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, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
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 inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: 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.

Taking out the spare wheel
Raise the floor to reveal the spare wheel carrier drive nut. Turn this drive nut fully clockwise , using the wheelbrace 1 and the extension 8 , to unwind the winch cable, until the spare wheel is flat on the ground. Unwind the length needed for access to the wheel.
Detach the assembly of wheel and box from the rear of the vehicle. Remove the hook with its connection plate to release the assembly of wheel and box, as shown in the illustration. Pull out the wheel for access to the box.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to block the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the parking brake control lever come on. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
Depending on equipment, remove the cover from from each of bolts using the tool 3 or remove the hub cap using tool 4 . Fit the security socket 5 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt (if fitted). Slacken the other bolts (no more than a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.
* Position R for an electronic gearbox; P for an automatic gearbox.

Place the jack 2 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 sufficient 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.
Extend the jack 2 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.
