Description of the kit
F.Sealant cartridge. G.White pipe with cap for repair.
H. Black pipe for inflation.
I. Speed limit sticker.


The speed limit sticker I
must be affixedto the vehicle's steering wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired using this type of kit.
The t
yre inflation pressures are given on this
label.

1. Sealing
)Switch off the ignition.)Turn the selector Ato the "sealant"position.)Check that the switch B
is in
position "O" .
)
Uncoil the white pipe G
fully.)

Avoid removing any foreign bodieswhich have penetrated into the tyre.

183Practical information
)Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B to position "I"until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from
the valve during this operation (risk of splashing).
) Remove the kit and screw the cap back on
the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle
with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand. ) Drive immediately for approximately three
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed(between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)),
to plug the puncture. ) Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.




Tyre under-infl ation detection

If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after thewheel has been repaired until thesystem is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contacta CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop for assistance.

2. Infl ation
)Turn the selector Ato the "air" position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel.
) Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.) Star t the vehicle again and leave the engine running.
)Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), in accordance with the vehicle's
tyre pressure label (located on the left hand
door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop for assistance.)Remove and stow the kit.
)Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled toapproximately 120 miles (200 km).
)Visit a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop as soon aspossible. You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician willinform you whether the tyre can berepaired or must be replaced.
