Puncture kit
The puncture repair kit is located in the boot.
The puncture repair kit is a com-plete system including a compres-sor and a setting product.
Using the puncture repair kit1. Remove the sticker found in the kit, then stick it on the steering wheel to remind you that you are driving with a wheel that is only fi t for tempo-rary use and that your speed is therefore limited.2. Connect the fl ask 1 to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.3. Connect the electric cable to one of the vehicle's 12V sock-ets.
4. With the engine running, start the compressor by pressing on button A until the tyre pressure reaches 2,0 bars. If you cannot reach a pressure of 2 bars, the tyre is not repairable.5. Remove and store the com-pressor.6. Drive off immediately, for a few miles at reduced speed, to allow the puncture repair to set.7. Adjust the tyre pressure using the compressor according to the recommendations for the vehicle, and check that there is no air escaping (no loss of pressure). If you cannot reach a pressure of 2 bars, the tyre is not repairable.8. Do not exceed 110 km/h (68 mph). The tyre must be exam-ined and repaired by a profes-sional as soon as possible.
Warning, the fl ask of puncture repair gel contains ethylene-glycol, a product that is toxic if ingested and irritating for the eyes.
Keep out of the reach of children.
After use, do not dispose of the fl ask in the natural envi ronment, but return it to a CITROËN dealer or to a recognised recovery facility.
