F Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I"
until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not
disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing). F

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep
the kit to hand.
F

Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres),

at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to
plug the puncture.
F


Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe
to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through
the pipe.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection,
the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel
has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT


dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer

or

a

qualified

workshop

for

assistance.

Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the
charger

.
F

Connect the charger's red cable to the (+) terminal of the battery
,
then the black cable to the (-) terminal.
F

Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger cables in
reverse order

.
Charging should be carried out in a well-ventilated area and away
from
naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to avoid any risk
of

explosion and fire.
Do
not try to charge a frozen battery; first thaw it out so as to
avoid the risk of explosion.
If the battery had frozen, before charging, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT


dealer or qualified workshop who will ensure that the
internal components have not been damaged and that the casing
is not cracked, which would cause a leak of toxic and corrosive
acid.
REINITIALISATION AFTER RECONNECTION

least one minute before starting, to allow time for the initialisation o\
f the
electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections, you should set or initialise\

the following systems yourself:

electric windows and automatic partial opening of door glasses,
-


time and date,
-


audio and navigation system settings.
Check that no alert message or warning lamp comes on after switching
on the ignition.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not depen\
dent
on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer ,
observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical signalling on the trailer .
F
If the warning l
amp and the STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.
