Practical advice - 171
The kit is only approved
for inflating the tyres of
the vehicle originally
equipped with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or
any other inflatable object (rubber
ring, rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when
handling the repair product bottle.
If droplets do leak out, rinse them
off with plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from
children.
Do not dispose of the empty
bottle in the countryside. Return it
to your approved dealer or to a
recycling organisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to
replace the inflation tube and
repair product bottle.
Before using the kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic,
switch on the hazard
warning lights, apply the parking
brake, ask all passengers to leave
the vehicle and keep them away
from traffic.
In the event of a puncture, use the kit
located in the luggage compartment.

monitoring system
If the tyres are under-inflated
(puncture, low pressure, etc.), the
warning light appears on the
instrument panel: refer to the
information on "Tyre pressure
monitoringsystem"inSection2.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– disconnect any accessories from the
vehicle's accessories sockets;
– see the information on the

the vehicle luggage compartment and
follow the instructions for use;

will
briefly indicate a pressure of up to 6
bar, then the pressure drops;
– adjust the pressure: to increase it,
continue inflation with the kit. To
