Repair procedure

1. Sealing

F uncoil the white pipe G fully.
F unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
F Connect the white pipe to the valve of the

tyre to be repaired.

F Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Start the vehicle and leave the engine

running.

take care, this product is harmful if
swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.

Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: the sealant product would be
expelled through the pipe.

F Switch off the ignition.

F turn the selector A to the

"sealant" position.

F Check that the switch B is in position "O".

242

In the event of a breakdown

308_en_Chap08_en-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

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.

F 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).

F 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.

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.

F Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Start the vehicle again and leave the

engine running.

F 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.

F Remove and stow the kit.
F Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]

max) limiting the distance travelled to
approximately 120 miles (200 km).

As soon as possible, go to a PeugeOt

Checking / adjusting tyre pressures

You can also use the compressor without
injecting any product, to check and if necessary
adjust your tyre pressures.

F turn the selector A to the "Air"

position.

F Connect the compressor's electrical

connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

F Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
F 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.

F Remove the kit then stow it.

Should the pressure of one or more
tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to
reinitialise the under-inflation detection
system.
For more information on Under-
inflation detection, refer to the
corresponding section.

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.

Switch off the ignition.

With a manual parking brake, apply the
parking brake and check that the brake
warning lamp is on.

With an electric parking brake, if not
programmed in automatic mode, apply
the parking brake and check that the
brake warning lamp and the P indicator
lamp in the parking brake control lever
are on.

With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to block the wheels.

With an automatic gearbox, place
the selector at position P to block the
wheels.
the occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

Do not use:
-

the jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle,

-

a jack other than the one supplied
by the manufacturer.

ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop -
Risk of injury!
ensure that the jack is positioned only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
making sure that the vehicle's contact surface is centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise
there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk of injury!

F Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

F Remove the wheel.

F extend the jack 2 until its head comes into

contact with the jacking point A or B used,
with the contact surface A or B on the
vehicle correctly engaged with the central
part of the head of the jack.

F Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.

when tightening the bolts on fitting, it
is normal to notice that the washers
do not come into contact with the
"space-saver" spare wheel. the wheel
is secured by the conical surface of
each bolt.

F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F Screw in the bolts fully by hand.
F Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security
socket 4 (according to equipment).

After changing a wheel

to store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures then

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

the headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F do not clean them using a dry

or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,

F use a sponge and soapy water or a

pH neutral product,

F when using a high pressure washer

on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,
so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.

Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for several minutes (risk of serious
burns).
F Do not touch the bulb directly with

your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.

It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (uV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.

Daytime running lamps / sidelamps

For the replacement of this type of LeD lamp
and lighting guides, contact a PeugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.
A replacement kit for the LeDs is available from
PeugeOt dealers.
