The speed l imit  s ticker  m ust  b e  s ecured  t
o the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's
  field   of   vision,   to   remind   you  
t

hat   a   wheel   is   in   temporary   use.
Composition of the kit
1. 12  V   compressor,   with   integral   pressure  ga

Temporary puncture r epair k it
Complete system consisting of a compressor a
nd   a   sealant   cartridge   which   permits  
t

emporary repair of a tyre so that you can
drive
  to   the   nearest   garage.
It
  is   designed   to   repair   most   punctures   which  
c

o

r   shoulder.Access to the kit
This kit  is  installed  i n  t he  s torage  b ox,  u nder  t he  b
oot   floor.
The
  vehicle's   electric   system   allows   the  
c

onnection   of   a   compressor   for   long  
e

nough   to   inflate   a   tyre   after   a   puncture  
r

epair   or   for   inflating   a   small   inflatable  
a

ccessory. Do
  not   exceed   a   speed   of   50   mph  
(

80 km/h)   when   driving   with   a   tyre  
r

epaired   using   this   type   of   kit.
Practical information

201
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure   is   not   attained,   this   indicates  
t

hat   the   tyre   is   not   repairable;   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   for   assistance.

Tyre under-inflation
detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning lamp   will   remain   on   until   the   system   is  
r

einitialised.
For
  more   information,   refer   to   the  
"

Under-inflation
 d
etection"
 s
ection.
Should
  the   pressure   of   one   or   more  
t

yres   be   adjusted,   it   is   necessary   to  
r

einitialise   the   under-inflation   detection  
s

ystem.
Refer
  to   the   "Under-inflation   detection"  
s

ection.
Practical information

Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a t
owbar.   The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.

ehicle identification number on the
bottom edge of the windscreen aper ture.
This
  number   is   indicated   on   a   self-adhesive  
l

abel   which   is   visible   through   the   windscreen. The
  tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   cold,   at   least   once  
a

  month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The
  self-destroying   label   on   the   left   hand  
c

entre   pillar   carries   the   following   information.
-
 
t
