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.

In the event of a breakdown
Fitting a wheel
► Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
► Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 8.
► Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.
► Lower the vehicle again fully.
► Fold jack 6 and remove it.
► With a steel wheel, remove the wheel trim
using tool 7
.
►
With an alloy wheel, remove the cap from
each of the bolts using tool 7
.
►
If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt
socket
8 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security
bolt.
►
Slacken
(without removing) the other wheel
bolts using just wheelbrace 5.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
► Place the foot of the jack on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the A
or B jacking
point provided on the underbody, whichever is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B, whichever is
used; the contact surface A or B of the vehicle
must be correctly engaged with the central part
of the head of the jack.
►
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily
.
Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip
or collapse.
Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's contact
surface is correctly centred on the head of the
jack. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to
the vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing.
► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
