TEMPORARY PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT


This kit is located at the front of the
passenger compartment. It consists of:


- a repair cartridge A
, containing the
sealant, equipped with:


●
a fi lling pipe B
,

●
a sticker C
indicating "max. 80 km/h", which
the driver must affi x to the dashboard in a
visible position after repairing the tyre,

- a compressor D
equipped with a pressure
gauge and unions,

- adaptors for the inflation of various items,

- a pair of protective gloves,

- a quick guide to use of the temporary
puncture repair kit.


Repair procedure



- Apply the parking brake and place the
gear lever in neutral.

- Unscrew the valve cap of the tyre to be
repaired.

- Take out the filling pipe B
and screw the
ring E
onto the tyre valve.

- Check that the on/off switch F
on the
compressor is in position "0"
(off).
- Start the engine.

- Insert the connector G
in the nearest
12 V accessory socket in the vehicle.

- Place the compressor's on/off switch F
in
position "1"
(on).

- Inflate the tyre to a pressure of 3 bars.
To obtain a more accurate reading, you are
advised to check the pressure value on the
pressure gauge H
, with the compressor off. This temporary puncture repair kit is
available from CITROËN dealers.
It is provided for the repair of holes of
a maximum diameter of 4 mm, located
exclusively on the tread or side wall of the
tyre. Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.

142



Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 1.5 bars
is not
reached within 5 minutes
:


●
disconnect the compressor from the
valve and from the 12 V accessory
socket,

●
move the vehicle forward by
approximately 10 metres to distribute the
fi lling fl uid inside the tyre,

●
then repeat the infl ation operation.



- If a pressure of at least 1.8 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes
:


●
stop the repair procedure; the tyre has
suffered too much damage and cannot
be repaired,

●
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.



- If the tyre has been inflated to a pressure
of 3 bars
, set off again immediately.
After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Re-inflate the tyre to the correct pressure if
necessary and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you
have repaired the tyre using the temporary
puncture repair kit and show him its
instructions.


Checking and correcting the pressure

For checking and correcting the pressure of
a tyre, use the compressor as follows:


- disconnect the pipe I
,

- connect it directly to the tyre valve,
the cartridge will then be connected to the
compressor and the sealant will not be
injected.

Replacing the repair cartridge

Disconnect the pipe I
.
Turn the empty cartridge anticlockwise and
lift it.
Insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise.
Reconnect the pipe I
and connect the pipe B

in its location.

The repair cartridge contains ethylene-
glycol, a product which is harmful if
swallowed and which causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of reach of children.
After use, take the cartridge to a CITROËN
dealer or to an authorised waste disposal
site. If the tyre has to be deflated:


- connect the pipe I
to the tyre valve,

- press the yellow button, located in the
centre of the switch F
on the compressor.
