This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
The temporary puncture repair kit consists of
a compressor and a sealant cartridge allowing
the temporary repair
of a tyre so that you can
drive to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
You can also use the compressor, without
injection of sealant, to check and if necessary
adjust the pressures of your tyres.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure gauge.

repair.
