Sposób przeprowadzenia naprawy

  • Turn the ignition off.
  • Stick the self-adhesive speed limit sticker inside the vehicle.

Do not remove any foreign objects embedded in the tyre.

Sposób przeprowadzenia naprawy

  • Unroll the hose (tube) stored under the compressor motor.
  • Connect the compressor hose to the sealant container.
  • Turn the sealant container upside down and fit it into the special recess in the compressor.

  • Connect the flexible hose of the sealant container to the valve of the tyre being repaired and tighten it securely.
Sposób przeprowadzenia naprawy

  • Check that the compressor switch is set to position O.
  • Fully unroll the power cable stored under the compressor.
  • Connect the compressor plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
  • Switch the ignition on.
Sposób przeprowadzenia naprawy

  • Switch the compressor on by setting the switch to position "I" and inflate until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bar.

    The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the hose from the valve during this operation (risk of splashing).

If the pressure cannot be reached within five to seven minutes, the tyre cannot be repaired. Contact a CITROËN dealership or a specialist workshop to call for roadside assistance. Be careful, as the sealant is harmful if swallowed (contains ethylene glycol, rosin, etc.) and irritates the eyes. Keep the sealant out of the reach of children. The expiry date of the sealant is shown on the container. Do not dispose of the used container anywhere; return it to a CITROËN dealership or a waste disposal company. Remember to obtain a new container, available from a CITROËN dealership or a specialist workshop.
Sposób przeprowadzenia naprawy

  • Set the switch to position "O".
  • Disconnect the kit.
  • Immediately drive approximately five kilometres at low speed (between 20 and 60 km/h) to seal the punctured tyre.
  • Stop to check that the tyre has sealed and that the pressure is holding.
