In the event of a breakdown
Made up of 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.
Repair procedure
F Park the vehicle without obstructing any
traffic and apply the parking brake.
F Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing
high visibility vest, etc.) according to the
legislation in force in the country where you
are driving.
F Switch off the ignition.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
F Uncoil the pipe stowed under the
compressor.
F Turn the bottle of sealant over and secure it
in the notch provided on the compressor.
F Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean area.
Composition of the kit
F Connect the pipe from the compressor to
the bottle of sealant.
Do not remove any foreign bodies (e.g.
nail, screw, etc.) which have penetrated
into the tyre.
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
F Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant
to the valve of the tyre to be repaired and
tighten firmly.
2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.

In the event of a breakdown
F Remove the kit.
F Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
F Switch on the ignition.
F Remove and then store the bottle of sealant.
F Fully uncoil the electric cable, stowed under
the compressor.
F Connect the compressor's electric plug to
one of the vehicle's 12 V sockets.
Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
F
Affix the speed limit sticker.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on
the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in
standard waste, take it to a CITROËN
dealer or an authorised waste disposal
site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The speed limit sticker must be secured to
the interior of the vehicle in the area close
to the driver, to remind the driver that
a wheel is in temporary use.
F Start the compressor by turning the switch
to position "I" until the pressure of the tyre
reaches 2 bars. The sealant product is
injected under pressure into the tyre; do not
disconnect the pipe from the valve during
this operation (risk of blowback).
If a pressure of 2 bars is not reached after
about 7 minutes, this indicates that the
tyre is not repairable; contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.

F Turn the switch to position "O".
F Disconnect the compressor's electric plug
from the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres), at reduced speed (between

the puncture.
F Replace the cap on the valve.

F Connect the compressor's electric plug to
one of the vehicle's 12 V sockets.
F Switch on the ignition.
Do not exceed the speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.
If a pressure of 2 bars is not reached after
7 minutes, this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop for assistance.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
You can also use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and, if
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.
F Once the correct pressure is reached, put
the switch in position "O".
F Remove the kit then stow it.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km)
with a repaired tyre; see a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to change
the tyre.
F Remove the valve cap from the tyre and
keep it in a clean place.
F Uncoil the pipe stowed under the
compressor.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
