List of tools
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle and can vary according to equipment. Do not use them for other purposes. 1. 12 V compressor. Contains a sealant cartridge for the temporary repair of a tyre and can also be used for adjusting tyre pressures. 2. Chocks * to block the wheels of the vehicle. 3. Bolt "covers * " tool. For removing the wheel bolt protectors (covers) on alloy wheels. 4. Wheel finisher remover. For removing the wheel finishers on alloy wheels. 5. Removable towing eye. See "Towing the vehicle".

213Practical information
A. "Sealant" or "Air" position selector. B. On "I" / off "O" switch. C. Deflation button. D. Pressure gauge (in bar and p.s.i.). E. Compartment housing: - a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket, - various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres...
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 affixed to 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 tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.

Repair procedure
 Switch off the ignition.
 Uncoil the white pipe G fully.  Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.  Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
 Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Start the vehicle and leave the engine running.
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes. Keep this product out of the reach of children.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre.
1. Sealing
 Turn the selector A to the "sealant" position.  Check that the switch B is in position "O" .
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of a compressor for long enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair or for inflating a small inflatable accessory.

215Practical information
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through the pipe.
 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 the wheel has been repaired until the system 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; contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.

2 . I n fl a t i o n  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Start 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 to approximately 120 miles (200 km).
As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
 Turn the selector A to the "air" position.  Uncoil the black pipe H fully.  Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.

217Practical information
Removing the cartridge
 Stow the black pipe.  Detach the angled base from the white pipe.  Support the compressor vertically.  Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid. The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the cartridge. The sealant cartridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it must be replaced. After use, do not discard the cartridge into the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant cartridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to: - check or adjust the pressure of your tyres, - inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
 Turn the selector A to the "Air" position.  Uncoil the black pipe H fully.  Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory. If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
 Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Start the vehicle and let the engine run.  Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: switch B in position "O" and press button C ), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label or the accessory's pressure label.  Remove the kit then stow it.

Changing a wheel
The jack is stowed in a box attached to the spare wheel. The assembly is secured under the vehicle by means of a winch system. The other tools are stowed in a well under the f l o o r.
