TYRE INFLATION 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 hand-
ling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-
lets 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.

5.4
TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, please use the kit located
in the glovebox.
Before 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.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– Disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories socket;
– refer to the information on the infla- tion kit compressor and follow the in-
structions;
– 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 2).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 2 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 1.

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.

5.5
TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation end piece to prevent any product
spatter and store the container in plas-
tic 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 be- tween 12.4 and 37.2 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 1.86 miles (3 km), stop
and check the pressure;
– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure, re-adjust it (refer to the
label affixed to the edge of the driv-
er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-
proved dealer: repair is not possible.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.
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.

5.6
Remove tools or, depending on the ve-
hicle, the tool kit.
To remove the tool kit 1 from the lug-
gage compartment
Depending on the vehicle, it may be
stored behind a flap. Open it. Undo
wheel 2 and pull the tool kit towards
you.
To reposition the tool kit position tool
kit pin 4 into housing 3. Make sure the
kit is correctly positioned so as to be
able to tighten wheel 2.
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle.

Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking. After use, check
that the tools are correctly clipped
into the vehicle or, depending on the
vehicle, into the tool kit, then posi-
tion it correctly in its housing: risk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool
kit, you must use these bolts only for
the emergency spare wheel: refer to
the label affixed to the emergency
spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.

vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Continue tightening to position the
baseplate on the ground correctly. Turn
handle 3 on the jack to lift the wheel off
the ground.
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.

5.9
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
For vehicles fitted with alloy wheels,
use the guide bolt located in the tool kit
to finish loosening and start tightening
the bolts.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on
the central hub and turn it to align the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and unscrew the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and check they are tight
as quickly as possible.
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Anti-theft bolts
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (wheel trim may
not be able to fit).
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.

5.10
TYRES (1/3)Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have tread wear indica-
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.
When the tyre tread has been eroded
to the level of the warning strips, they
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
profile is no more than 1.6
mm deep
and this causes poor road holding
on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.

5.11
TYRES (2/3)
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.Fitting new tyres
Tyre pressuresRespect the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). Check
them at least once a month and before
a long journey (refer to the label on the
edge of the driver’s door).
Please refer to the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures”).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at
least equal to the original tyres,
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.

TYRES (3/3)
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in-
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Use in winter
– ChainsFor safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
Chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to
tyres. Consult an approved Dealer.
– Snow or winter tyres We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains maximum
grip.
Note: be aware that these tyres may
sometimes have:
– a direction of travel ;
– a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
– Studded tyres This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Note: the use of snow tyres, winter
tyres or studded tyres significantly re-
duces the vehicle range.
