5.2
In case of punctureDepending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-
tion kit or emergency spare wheel is
provided (refer to the following pages).
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure etc.), the warning light
 on
the instrument panel comes on. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it \
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the
other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel ident\
i- cal to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measu\
re, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually r\
uns. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-\
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rea\
r axle and check the tyre pressure.
– The warning light
 on the instrument panel flashes for several seconds,
then stays on.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.

5.3

It is not recommended to replace
and reconnect the subwoofer if a
tyre is punctured: this may cause
damage to the subwoofer.

5.4
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
The kit is only approved for
inflating the tyres of the ve-
hicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-
dling the repair product bottle. If
droplets do leak out, rinse them off
with plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.
A
B
The kit repairs tyres when
tread A has been dam-
aged by objects smaller
than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts
larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre
sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary.
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and re-
paired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
When taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt
due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.

5.5
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
boot or underneath the luggage com-
partment carpet.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel.
See “Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– Disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories sockets;
– Refer to the information on the in- flation kit compressor located in the
vehicle’s luggage compartment and
follow the instructions;
– inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the infor-
mation in the section on “Tyre pres-
sures”);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge 1);
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 1 will indicate briefly
a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-
sure drops.
– Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit. To
reduce it, press the button 2.
1Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.

5.6
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation end piece 3 to prevent any prod-
uct spatter and store the container in
plastic packaging to prevent product
leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recom-
mended pressure (refer to the label
affixed to the edge of the driver’s
door), readjust it. Otherwise, please
contact an authorised dealer: the
tyre cannot be repaired.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
3
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
