Practical information
7the “hands-free” function (“Hands-Free
Tailgate Access”).
When using a pressure washer, hold the
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle
(particularly when cleaning areas containing
chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the
vehicle more frequently to remove salty
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial
areas) and mud (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage if they come into contact with the
controls in the dashboard and centre console.
Be vigilant!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products or
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the
bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high pressure washer to
clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature
between 25°C and 40°C.
Sweep the jet of water across the surface to
be cleaned, perpendicular to it.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.

(Type 1)
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.
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Composition of the kit

1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign bodies (e.g.
nail, screw) which have penetrated into
the tyre.
►

Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►


Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, high visibility
jacket, etc.) according to the legislation in force
in the country in which you are driving.
►


Switch the ignition off.
►


Uncoil
the pipe stowed under the compressor.

In the event of a breakdown

► Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
bottle of sealant.


► Turn the bottle of sealant over and secure it
in the notch provided on the compressor.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


► Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant
to the valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten
firmly
.

► Switch on the compressor by moving the
switch to position " I
" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2 bar. 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 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

Move the switch to position " O

".
►

Disconnect the compressor's electric plug
from the vehicle's 12

V socket.

Stop to check the repair
and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50
mph
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
125 miles (200 km).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep
it in a clean place.
►


Uncoil
the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►

Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly

.
►

Check that the compressor switch is in
position " O

".
►

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.

Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position " O

".
►

Remove the kit and stow it.
►


Refit the cap on the valve.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies which
may have penetrated the tyre.


► 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 12V socket.
Only the 12V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used.

155
In the event of a breakdown
8Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
► Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: this would cause the sealant product to
be expelled through the pipe.
►

Switch on the compressor by moving switch
B

to position I and inflate the tyre until its
pressure reaches 2.0 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 seven minutes,
this pressure is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is irreparable; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
►

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on to
the white pipe. Be careful not to leave traces of
fluid on your vehicle. Keep the kit within reach.
Please note, the sealant product is
harmful if swallowed and causes irritation
to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.


► Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between
12 and 37 mph (20 and 60
km/h)) to plug the
puncture.
►

Stop to check the repair
and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
2. Inflation

► Turn selector A to the "Inflation"
position.
►

Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.
► Connect the white pipe to the valve on the
repaired tyre.
►

the vehicle's 12V socket.
Only the 12V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
► Restart the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
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.
►

Adjust the tyre pressure using the
compressor (to inflate: set switch

B to position I;
to deflate: set switch B to position O and press
button C), following the vehicle's tyre pressure
label located by the driver's door.
A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that
the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have your vehicle repaired.

156
In the event of a breakdown
► Remove the kit and stow it.
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
(80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 125 miles
(200
km).
