Each of the sensors incorporated in the valves 5 is dedicated to a single
wheel: under no circumstances should you swap the wheels, without re-
setting the system.
There is a risk of incorrect information which could have serious conse-\
quences.
To mark the correct position of the
wheel, note the colour of the ring 6
(after cleaning, if necessary) on each
valve:
C yellow ring
D black ring
E red ring
F green ringTyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network.
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. When it is fitted to the vehicle,
the message “Check tyre pressure sen-
sors” is displayed on the instrument
panel.

Depending on the vehicle, remove the
central partition in the storage compart-
ment to access the inflation kit.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the
cap must not be removed from the
bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its base 3.
Engine running, handbrake applied:
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel concerned and screw inflation
adapter 6 onto the valve;
– connect adapter 8 to the accessories
socket on the dashboard of the vehi-
cle;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 4);
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres-
sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a
pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure
will drop.

2– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
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.
Inflation kit C
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located under-
neath the boot carpet.
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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/5)
– affix driving recommendation label 9
to the dashboard where it can easily
be seen by the driver;
– store the kit;
– after the first inflation procedure the tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to
drive in order to plug the hole;
– start immediately and drive at be- tween 12 and 36 mph (20 and
60 km/h) to distribute the product
evenly throughout the tyre, stopping
after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-
tres) to check the pressure;
– If the pressure is above 1.3 bar but lower than the recommended pres-
sure, readjust it (refer to the label
affixed to the edge of the driver’s
door), otherwise contact an ap-
proved dealer: repair is not possible.
Note: after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved Dealer to re-
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product. 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.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:
– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle again;
– disconnect adapter 8;
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.
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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/5)
Inflation kit D
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
boot or underneath the luggage com-
partment carpet.
Engine running, handbrake applied:
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 12 to
the container’s inlet 17;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 17 to the compressor
from the container recess 16;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter 10;
– adapter 11 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 13 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);

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.
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 14).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 14 will briefly indi-
cate a pressure of up to 6 bar. The
pressure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 15.
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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (5/5)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 10 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
– 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 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 recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just 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.
