Temporary puncture repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.
Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows 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.
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign bodies (e.g.
nail, screw) which have penetrated into
the tyre.
►
Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►
Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, high visibility
158
In the event of a breakdown
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) and do not drive more than
125
miles (200 km).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the tyre changed.
Checking / adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►
Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep
it in a clean place.
►
Uncoil
the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►
Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly
.
►
Check that the compressor switch is in
position " O
".
►
Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor
.
►
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12
V socket.
►
Switch on the ignition.
Only the 12 V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used to power the
compressor .
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.
► Start the compressor by placing the switch at
position " I
" and adjust the pressure to the value
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To
deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bars
is not reached, this indicates that the tyre
is damaged; contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop for assistance.
►
Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position " O
".
►
Remove the kit and stow it.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Spare wheel

►
Park the vehicle, taking care to avoid
obstructing traffic, and apply the parking brake.
►
Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing high
visibility vest, etc.) according to the legislation in
force in the country where you are driving.
►
Switch off the ignition.
Access to the spare wheel

► If your vehicle is fitted with a towbar, raise
the rear of the vehicle using the jack (must be
at jacking point B) to allow sufficient space to
remove the spare wheel.
Removing the spare wheel from the
carrier
► Depending on version, open the tailgate or
side-hinged doors.

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy wheels,
the washers do not make contact with the
steel or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical contact of
each bolt.
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 tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether 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 wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel
trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the
valve and then pushing the trim into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
162
In the event of a breakdown
Model A
Model B
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
►
do not clean them with a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or
solvent products,
►
use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
►
when using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the lamps or their edges for
too long, so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes - risk of
serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification.
Opening the bonnet / Accessing the
bulbs
With the engine warm, proceed with caution -
risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan -
risk of strangulation!
Halogen bulbs (Hx)
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
After changing a bulb
