1. Sealing

Take care, this product is
harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and
causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
182

)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing 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 ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the kit

Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve 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.


Do not start the compressor
before connecting the white
pipe to the tyre valve: the
sealant product would be expelled
through the pipe.


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 af-
ter the wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained,
this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop for as-
sistance.
