Scan
the QR Code on page 3 to view explanatory videos.
Made up of a compressor and a sealant cartridge, it allows you to carry out
a temporary repair of the tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures located on the tyre tread.
The
vehicle's electric system allows the connection of the compressor to the 2 V
power supply for long enough to repair a tyre after a puncture.
For
more information on the Tool kit, refer to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do
not remove any foreign bodies (e.g. nail, screw) which have penetrated into the
tyre.
- Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic and apply the parking
brake.
- Follow the safety instructions (hazard warning lamps, warning triangle,
high visibility jacket, etc.) according to the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
- Switch the ignition off.
- Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be repaired, and place it in a
clean area.
- Connect the pipe from the bottle of sealant to the valve of the tyre to
be repaired and tighten firmly.
- Connect the pipe from the compressor to the bottle of sealant.
- Check that the compressor switch is in position "O".
- Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under the compressor.
- Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
- Affix the speed limit
sticker.
The
speed limit sticker must be affixed inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in temporary use.
The
tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.
- Switch the ignition on.
- Switch on the compressor by moving the switch to position "I" until the
tyre pressure reaches 2 bar. 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
after approximately 7 minutes, the pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop for assistance.
- Move the switch to position "O".
- Disconnect the compressor's electric plug from the vehicle's 12 V
socket.
- Remove the kit.
- Refit the cap on the valve.
- Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The
sealant product is harmful if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
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
PEUGEOT dealer or an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of sealant, available from a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
- Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles (5 kilometres) at reduced
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the puncture.
- Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
With
a tyre repaired using this type of kit, do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
and do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the tyre
changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting sealant, to check and,
if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.
- Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it in a clean place.
- Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
- Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten firmly.
- Check that the compressor switch is in position "O".
- Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under the compressor.
- Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
- Switch the ignition on.
The
tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.
- Start the compressor by placing the switch at position "I" and
adjust the pressure to the value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label.
To deflate: press the black button located on the compressor pipe, near the
valve connection.
If
after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is not reached, the tyre is damaged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.
- Once the correct pressure is reached, put the switch in position "O".
- Remove the kit and stow it.
- Refit the cap on the valve.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to
reinitialise the under-inflation detection system.
