PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indi-
cates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for assistance.
)
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

(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 fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the sys-
tem is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Do not start the compressor be-
fore connecting the white pipe to
the tyre valve: the sealant prod-
