Temporary puncture
repair kit
This kit comprises a compressor and a sealant
cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
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.
Access to the kit

The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Only use the two 12 V sockets, located at
the front , to connect your compressor.

Take care, this 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 bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle by the
roadside, take it to a CITROËN dealer or
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve:
the sealant product would be expelled
through the pipe.
If after around five to seven minutes this
pressure is not reached, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
for assistance.

Removing the pipe and
cartridge
Be careful of fluid discharge.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on
the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for
single use; it must be replaced even if only
partly used.
After use, do not discard the cartridge into
the environment, take it to an authorised
waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or from a qualified workshop.

The steel spare wheel does not have a
sensor.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Have the punctured wheel checked. After
inspection, the technician will let you know
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.
Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection , refer to the corresponding
section. Wheel with hub cap
When refitting the wheel
, refit the hub
cap starting by placing its notch facing the
valve and press around its edge with the
palm of your hand.
Fastening the steel wheel
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
contact of each bolt.The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.

Identification markings
Different visible markings for the identification
of your vehicle.
A.
V
ehicle identification number (V.I.N.),
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the chassis near
the right-hand front wheel arch.
B.
V
ehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.) on
the windscreen lower cross member.
The number is on an adhesive label, visible
through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label.
This tamperproof label on the middle door
pillar, right or left-hand side, contains the
following information:
-
t
he name of the manufacturer, -
t
he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
- t he vehicle identification number (V.I.N.),
-
t
he maximum authorised weight (gross
vehicle weight),
-
t
he maximum authorised weight with trailer
(gross train weight),
-
t
he maximum weight on the front axle,
-
t
he maximum weight on the rear axle.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label on the middle door pillar, driver's
side, contains the following information:
-
t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-
t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-
t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-
t
he paint colour code. The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
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.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
