Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: the sealant product would be
expelled through the pipe.

F Switch on the compressor by moving

the switch B to position "I" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars.

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

F Remove the kit and screw the cap back on

the white pipe.

Take care to avoid staining your vehicle
with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.

F Drive immediately for approximately

3 miles (5 kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and
60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.

F Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit.

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

2. Inflation

F Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Start the vehicle again and leave the

engine running.

F Adjust the pressure using the compressor

(to inflate: switch B in position "I";
to deflate: switch B in position "O" and
press button C), in accordance with the
vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on the
left hand door aperture).

A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop for assistance.

F Remove and stow the kit.
F Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]

max) limiting the distance travelled to
approximately 120 miles (200 km).

As soon as possible, go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You must inform the technician that you
have used this kit. After inspection, the
technician will advise you on whether
the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.

F Turn the selector A to the

"Air" position.

F Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
F Connect the black pipe to the

valve of the wheel.

inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:
-

check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,

inflate other accessories (balls,
bicycle tyres...).

F Turn the selector A to the

"Air" position.

F Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
F Connect the black pipe to the

valve of the wheel or accessory.

If necessary, fit one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit first.

F Connect the compressor's electrical

connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
F Adjust the pressure using the compressor

(to inflate: switch B in position "I";
to deflate: switch B in position "O" and
press button C), according to the vehicle's
tyre pressure label or the accessory's
pressure label.

With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
gear selector at position R to block the
wheels.

F Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.

F Extend the jack 2 until it comes into contact

with the jacking point A or B used; the
contact area A or B on the vehicle must be
correctly inserted into the central part of
the head of the jack.

Ensure that the jack is stable on a
surface that is not slippery or loose and
positioned only at the jacking point A
or B under the vehicle, ensuring that
the contact area on the vehicle is
well centred on the head of the jack.
Otherwise there is a risk of damage to
the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping
or slipping - Risk of injury!

Fitting a wheel

Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it
is normal to notice that the washers do
not come into contact with the "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is
secured by the conical shoulder of each
bolt (see drawing).
When refitting the alloy wheel, ensure
that the wheel bolt washers are clean
and in good condition.

After changing a wheel

To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, first remove the central
cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.

Snow chains

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.

Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Advice on installation

F If you have to fit the chains during a

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.

F Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.

F Fit the chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

F Move off gently and drive for a few

moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).

F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow

chains are correctly tightened.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.

Changing a bulb

Front lamps

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F do not clean them using a dry

or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,

F use a sponge and soapy water or a

pH neutral product,

F when using a high pressure washer

on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,
so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.

1. Daytime running lamps / sidelamps

(light-emitting diodes - LEDs).

2.  Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).
3.  Direction indicators (PWY-24W).
4.  Main beam headlamps (H7-55W).
5.  Front foglamps (with "cornering

lighting" function according to version)
(PSX-24W).

Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for several minutes (risk of serious
burns).
F Do not touch the bulb directly with

your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.

It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.

cover carefully to preserve the sealing
of the headlamp.

Rapid flashing of the direction indicator
warning lamp (right or left) indicates the
failure of a bulb on that side.
