TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/4)
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.

5.6
TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/4)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in
storage compartment C or underneath
luggage compartment carpet D.
Before using the kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the parking brake, 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,
– connect the compressor hose 3 to
the container’s inlet 8;
– remove the cap from the container inflation adapter 2;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation end piece 2;
– disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories sockets;
– the end piece 6 must be plugged in
to the vehicle accessories socket;

– press the switch 4 to inflate the
tyre to the recommended pressure
(please refer to the information about
“Tyre Pressures” in Section 4);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 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 button 7.

If the recommended pressure of
1.8 bar cannot be achieved after
15 minutes, repair is impossible. Do
not drive the vehicle. Consult an au-
thorised dealer.
TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/4)
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 correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation end piece of the container 2 to
prevent any product spatter and store
the container in plastic packaging to
prevent product leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation label (located under the container) to
the dashboard where the driver can
see it.
– 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.2– Start immediately and drive at a speed of 12.4 to 37.2 mph (20 to
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre; after driv-
ing a distance of 1.86 miles (3 km),
stop and check the pressure.
– If the pressure is higher than 1.3 bar but lower than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), adjust
it. Otherwise, contact an approved
dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.

5.8
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
The container must be replaced after
the first use even if liquid remains
inside.
TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/4)
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 may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.

5.9
TOOLS (1/2)
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped 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, and
only these, 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.
The presence of the tools depends on
the vehicle.

Offer up the jack 1 horizontally; the
jack head must be lined up with the
sill, closest to the wheel concerned, as
shown by arrow 2.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace 3 to slacken off the
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able
to push from above.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the 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.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your authorised dealer.

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel onto
the hub and rotate it until the mounting
holes in the wheel coincide with those
of the hub.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and unscrew the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness of
the bolts checked and the emergency
spare wheel pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (wheel embel-
lisher 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.

5.14
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 tread has worn down to the
wear warning strips,
these strips will
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at
most, resulting in 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.

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.
