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

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 )
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).
