In the event of a breakdown
08
► 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 into
the environment; take it to a dealer or an
authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a 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:
• If the tyre pressure is incorrect, contact a
dealer to have the tyre changed.
• If the tyre pressure is correct, drive a second
time for approximately 3miles (5kilometres)
at reduced speed (between 12 and 37mph (20
and 60km/h)), stop then check again the tyre
pressure using the kit to confirm the effective
repair of the tyre.
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).
You must contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the repair checked and 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.
► 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 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.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
