B. On "I" / off "O" switch.
C. Deflation button.
D. Pressure gauge (in bar or p.s.i.).
E. Compartment housing:
- a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,
- various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres...
F. Sealant cartridge.
G. White pipe with cap for repair.
H. Black pipe for inflation.
I. Speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker I must be affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporary use.

Repair procedure
1. Sealing
Switch off the ignition.
Turn the selector A to the "sealant" position.
Check that the switch B is in position "O" .
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre.
Uncoil the white pipe G fully.
Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
Take care, this product is harmful
(e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle and leave the engine running.
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).
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through the pipe.
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.
Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.
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.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre underinflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
2. inflation
Turn the selector A to the "air" position.
Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle again and leave the engine running.
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you have used this kit.
After inspection, the technician will inform you whether the tyre can be repaired or must be replaced.
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.
Remove and stow the kit.
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled to approximately 120 miles (200 km).
Removing the cartridge
Stow the black pipe.
Detach the angled base from the white pipe.
Support the compressor vertically.
Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge into the environment, take it to an authorised
waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant cartridge, available from PEUGEOT dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures / 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...).
Turn the selector A to the "Air" position
Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
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.
Remove the kit then stow it.
