In the event of a breakdown
F
Start the compressor by turning the switch
to the " l " position until the pressure of the
tyre reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant product
is injected under pressure into the tyre; do
not disconnect the hose of the valve during
this operation (risk of blowback).
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure
of 2 bars is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
for assistance.
F
Place the switch in the " O " position.
F
Remove the kit.
F
Drive immediately for approximately three
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)),
to plug the puncture.
F
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.

children.
The use-by date is marked on the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle by the
roadside, take it to a PEUGEOT dealer or
an authorised waste disposal site.

sealant, available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
