Temporary puncture
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.
Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2. Sealant cartridge bottle, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
Repair procedure
F Park the vehicle without obstructing the
traffic and apply the parking brake.
F

F

warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing
high visibility vest, etc.) according to the
legislation in force in the country where

After changing a wheel
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel 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
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F

d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals. Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is
normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
