Temporary puncture repair kit
Scan the QR Code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.
Made up of a compressor and a sealant
cartridge,
it allows you to carry out a temporary
repair of the tyre so that you can drive to the
nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures located
on the tyre tread.

close to the driver, to remind the driver that a
wheel is in temporary use.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.


► Switch on the ignition.

► Switch on the compressor by moving switch
to position " I" until the tyre pressure reaches
2 bars. The sealant product is injected under
pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect the
pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes the
pressure of 2 bars is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;

►


Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
►


T
ighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
►

Depending on version, put the tool box back
in place

in the middle of the wheel and clip it in
place.
If there is no wheel in the well, the
fastening device (nut and bolt) cannot be
refitted.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position P then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that the
warning lamp is on in the instrument panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.

wheelbrace


1
only.


► Place the foot of jack 2 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.


► Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into
contact with the jacking point A or B, whichever
is used; the contact area A or B on the vehicle
must be correctly inserted into the central part of
the head of the jack.
►

space between the wheel and the ground to
admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily

.

11 4
In the event of a breakdown
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points

A
or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area of the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!


► Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
►

Remove the wheel.
Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type
spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy wheels,
the washers do not make contact with the
steel or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical contact of
each bolt.
List of operations

► Put the wheel in place on the hub.
► Screw in the bolts fully by hand.
►

If your vehicle is so equipped, pre-tighten the
security bolt using the wheelbrace 1

fitted with
the security socket 5.
►

Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1

only.


► Lower the vehicle again fully .
► Fold jack 2 and detach it.


► If your vehicle is so equipped, tighten the
security bolt using the wheelbrace 1
fitted with
the security socket 5.
►

T
ighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace
1 only.
►

Stow the tools in their box.
After changing a wheel
Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel.


With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Driving with more than one “space-saver”
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have
the tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
