"I"

/ off "O" switch.

Deflation button.

Pressure gauge (in bars and psi).

Description of the kit

The speed limit sticker H must be
affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel
to remind you that a wheel is in
temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.

Compartment housing a cable with an

adaptor for a 12 V socket.

Sealant cartridge.

White pipe with cap for repair and inflation.

Speed limit sticker.

The tyre inflation pressures are given on this
label.

Only

the 12 V socket at the front of

the vehicle allows the connection of the
compressor for long enough to repair or
inflate a tyre.
The other 12 V sockets in the vehicle
are not suited to the use of the
compressor.

1. Sealing

Repair procedure

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

F Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.

Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.

F Connect the white pipe to the valve of the

tyre to be repaired.

Switch off the ignition.

F Turn the selector A to the

"sealant" position.

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

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.

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

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

290

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap08_en-cas-panne_ed02-2016

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).

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

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.

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.

Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit.

Tyre under-inflation detection

After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information on Under-
inflation detection, refer to the
corresponding section.

2. Inflation

F Turn the selector A to the "Air"

position.

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle again and leave the

engine running.

As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You must inform the technician that you
have used this kit. After inspection, the
technician will advise you on whether
the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.

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 CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop for assistance.

Remove and stow the kit.

Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]

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

F Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.

Connect the white pipe to the tyre valve.

F Disconnect the union 1

from the cartridge

by turning it a quarter turn anti-clockwise.

Extract the pipe assembly 2, then

disconnect the union 3 from the air
delivery pipe by turning it a quarter turn
anti-clockwise.

To fit the new cartridge and new pipe, carry out
these operations in reverse order.

Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated
on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for
single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge
into the environment, take it to an
authorised waste disposal site or a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or from a qualified workshop.

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 Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.

F Connect the pipe to the tyre

valve.

Connect the compressor's electrical

connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

Start the vehicle and let the engine run.

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.

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.

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
For greater safety, place the chock 2
against the wheel opposite to the one
being changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
supported by a jack; use an axle stand.

List of operations

Remove the wheel bolt cover(s) using the

tool 4

(depending on equipment).

Fit the security socket 5 on the

wheelbrace 1

to slacken the security bolt

(if fitted).

Slacken the other bolts (no more than a

1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 only.

* Position P for an automatic gearbox.

Do not use:
- the jack for any purpose other than

lifting the vehicle,

- any other jack than the one

supplied by the manufacturer.

Place the foot of the jack 3 on the ground

and check that it is directly below the
front A or rear B

jacking point provided on

the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.

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!

301

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap08_en-cas-panne_ed02-2016

Extend the jack 3 until its head comes into

contact with the jacking point A or B used;
the vehicle's contact surface A or B must
engage with the central part of the head of
the jack

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

Remove the wheel.

F Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient

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

302

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap08_en-cas-panne_ed02-2016

Fitting a wheel

Lower the vehicle fully.

Fold the jack 3 and detach it.

List of operations

Put the wheel in place on the hub.

Screw in the bolts fully by hand.

Pre-tighten the security bolt using the

wheelbrace 1

fitted with the security

socket 5 (depending on equipment).

Pre-tighten the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1

only.

The jack must only be used to change a
wheel with a damaged tyre.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.

The jack conforms to European
legislation, such as defined in the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE.
