Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant
cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.Access to the kit
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
It is designed to repair most punctures
which could affect the tyre, located on
the tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check
and adjust the pressure of the tyre.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long enough
to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair or for
inflating a small inflatable accessory.
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 CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only
the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the connection of the
compressor for long enough to repair or
inflate a tyre.
The other 12 V sockets in the vehicle
are not suited to the use of the
compressor.

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
Take care, the sealant product is
harmful if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the
cartridge.
After use, do not discard the

Identification markingsVarious visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the suspension damper mounting.
B.
Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen. D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The original tyres fitted to the vehicle
may have a load index or speed rating
higher than those given on the label;
this has no effect on the inflation
pressures.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the following information:
-
t he tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
-

t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-

t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-

t
he paint colour code.Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm
tyre.
