http://q-r.to/bagGl9
Made up of a compressor and a sealant
cartridge,
it allows you to carry out a temporary
repair of the tyre so that you can drive to the
nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures located
on the tyre tread.
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of the compressor to the 12 V
power supply for long enough to repair a tyre
after a puncture. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
Only the 12 V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used to power the
compressor.
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body
(e.g. nail, screw) which has penetrated
the tyre.
►

Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►


Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, high visibility jacket, etc.) according to the legislation in force
in the country in which you are driving.
►


Switch the ignition off.

► Remove the transparent cap from the bottle
of sealant.
►

Lift the protective cover before installing the
bottle of sealant on the compressor

.
►

T
urn the bottle of sealant over and screw it a
quarter turn into the compressor.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


► Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
► Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired 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.
► Affix the speed limit sticker .
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). CarM an uals 2 .c o m

For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Accessing the spare wheel

The spare wheel is stored in the boot, under the
floor.
To access the spare wheel, first refer to the Tool
kit section.
Depending on version, the spare wheel
may be a standard (steel or aluminium)
or 'space-saver' wheel.
Removing the spare wheel

► Slacken the central nut.
► Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).
►

Lift the spare wheel towards you from the
rear

.
►

T
ake the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the spare wheel back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be put under the boot floor.


► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
►

Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.


► Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
►

Put the tool box back in place in the middle of
the wheel and clip it in place.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Select mode
P on the automatic gearbox
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
8Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling with both hands on
one of the upper arms.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.




– If the vehicle has steel wheels, remove the
wheel trim.
–

If the vehicle has alloy wheels, remove the
central bolt cover using tool 7

.
–

If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt
socket

2 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security
bolt.
–

Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace


5
only.
Never use an impact wrench on the
security bolt socket.


► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point 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; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
►

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points

A
or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury! CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown


► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
►

Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the
washers A do not make contact with the steel
or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel
is held in place by the conical contact surface
B of each bolt.


► Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
►

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace

equipped with a security socket
2
.
►

Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace


5
only.


► Lower the vehicle again fully .
► Fold jack 6 and remove it.


► Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 5 equipped with a security socket 2 .
►

T
ighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace

5
only.
►

Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).
►


Store the tools.
After changing a wheel
The punctured wheel cannot be stored in place
of the spare wheel. Place it in the boot.
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.). CarM an uals 2 .c o m

175
In the event of a breakdown
8Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts
and its tyre pressure checked.
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.
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.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


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 headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
