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
uge.

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.

ould affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or
  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.

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

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
system.
Refer to the "Under-inflation detection"
section.

Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.
  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
the
  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.

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.
