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.
2.
S

ealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3.
Spe

ed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Composition of the kit
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
shoulder of each bolt (see drawing).
When refitting the alloy wheel, ensure
that the wheel bolt washers are clean
and in good condition.
After changing a wheel

boot correctly, first remove the central
c ove r.
If your vehicle has a "standard" 15 -inch
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80

km/h).
If your vehicle is fitted with 16 or 17-inch
wheels. use the "space-saver" type
spare wheel and do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured tyre repaired and
the wheel refitted to the vehicle as soon
as possible.

Disconnecting the battery
It is recommended that the battery be
disconnected if the vehicle is not to be used
for a very long period, so as to maintain an
adequate state of charge for starting the
engine.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof),
F

s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting...),
F

s
witch off the ignition and then wait
four


minutes.
At the battery, simply detach the (+) terminal.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
