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.
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of the compressor to the 12 V
power supply for long enough to repair a tyre
after a puncture.

182
In the event of a breakdown
Only the 12 V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used to power the
compressor.
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body
(e.g. nail, screw) which has penetrated
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.


► 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
.
►

Check that the compressor switch is in
position

"O".
►

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.
►

Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12

V socket.

temporary use.
►

Switch the ignition on.

183
In the event of a breakdown

► 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.
►

Remove the kit.
►


Refit the cap on the valve.
►


Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the
environment; take it to a PEUGEOT dealer or
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.


► 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.
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
50

miles (80 km).
You must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the repair checked
and 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

.

position " I

" and adjust the pressure to the value
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To
deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

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

".

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode

P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
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.


– If the vehicle has steel wheels, remove the
wheel trim.
–

If the vehicle has alloy wheels, remove the
central bolt cover using tool 7

.
–

If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt
socket

2 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security
bolt.
–

Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace


5
only.


► Place the foot of jack 6 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 jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
►

Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
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 on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!

186
In the event of a breakdown


► 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

washers A do not make contact with the steel
or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel
is held in place by the conical contact surface
B of each bolt.


► Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the bolts by hand as far as possible.
►

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace

only.
►

Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).
►


Store the tools.
After changing a wheel
The punctured wheel cannot be stored in place
of the spare wheel. Place it in the boot.
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).

187
In the event of a breakdown
8Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts
and its tyre pressure 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.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–


Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–


When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Light-emitting diode (LED)
headlamps and lamps
Depending on version, the affected types of
headlamps/lamps are:
–

"LED" technology headlamps.
