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 the ignition on.
► 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 bar is
not reached, 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.
► Refit the cap on the valve.

► Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant
to the valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten
firmly
.

The speed limit sticker must be affixed
inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in
temporary use.
►

Switch the ignition on.

► Switch on the compressor by moving the
switch to position " I
" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

Move the switch to position " O

".
►

Disconnect the compressor's electric plug

Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
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 of the fluid is marked on the
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the
environment; 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.


► Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between
12 and 37 mph (20 and 60
km/h)) to plug the
puncture.
►

Stop to check the repair
and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
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
50

miles (80 km).
You must contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the repair checked
and the tyre changed.
