Using the repair kit
Refer to the instructions provided with the

tyre a foreign body
that has caused a puncture.
The sealant product contained in the

body, face or eyes. If it is ingested, call the emergency services
immediately (fire service, ambulance, etc.) or
go to a


hospital's emergency department.
If it enters the eyes, wash with abundant
clean water and consult a doctor without
d e l ay.
If the symptoms persist, consult a specialist.
Keep the sealant product out of the reach
of children.
Do not simply throw the old cartridge
away after use; take it to your CITROËN
authorised repairer or to a waste recovery
organisation that specialises in this type
of product.
Once the tyre has been repaired, go
to a
CITROËN authorised repairer or
a
qualified professional as soon as
possible.
If you are unable to obtain the desired
pressure after a
few minutes of operation
of the compressor, this means that the
tyre cannot be repaired.

send a


roadside recovery agent.
