6
356 - Practical advice
Depending on the equipment, in the
event of a puncture use the kit located,
depending on the vehicle, underneath
the luggage compartment carpet or in
the rear left-hand door storage
compartment.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
In the event of under-inflation
(puncture, flat tyre, etc.), the
warning light appears on the
instrument panel 🡺174.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied:
– Disconnect any accessories from the
vehicle's accessories sockets;
– see the information on the
inflation kit compressor located in
the vehicle luggage compartment and
follow the instructions for use;
– inflate the tyre to the recommended
pressure 🡺342;
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on the
pressure gauge
2
).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(during approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge
2
will briefly indicate a
pressure of up to 6 bar before the
pressure drops;
– adjust the pressure: to increase it,
continue inflation with the kit. To
reduce it, press the button
1
.
If the recommended pressure of 1.8
bar cannot be achieved after 15
minutes, repair is impossible. Do
not drive the vehicle. Consult an
approved dealer.
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.
If the vehicle is parked
on the hard shoulder,
you must warn other
road users of your
vehicle's presence with a warning
triangle or with other devices as
per the legislation applying to the
country you are in.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the
inflation adapter from the container
3
to prevent any product spatter, then
store the container in plastic packaging
to prevent the product from leaking.
