Connect the injection end-piece to the

valve of the tyre to be repaired.

Press several times on the sealant

cartridge (top down) with your hand, to
inject all of the product into the tyre.

Remove the injection end-piece.

Refit the valve core and tighten it using the

tool provided.

Take care, this product is harmful if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
The use-by date of the sealant is marked on the cartridge.
After use, do not discard the empty cartridge but take it to a CITROËN dealer or an
authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a replacement cartridge; they are available from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Check that the compressor switch A is at

the "OFF

" position.

Uncoil the compressor pipe B fully.

F Connect this pipe to the valve of the

repaired wheel.

Connect the compressor's electric plug to

the vehicle's 12 V socket (ignition switch in
position "ACC" or ACC mode).

Start the compressor by turning the

switch A to the "ON" position to inflate the
tyre to the pressure indicated on the tyre
pressure label.

For more information about Identification
markings

, refer to the corresponding

section.

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

Shake the sealant cartridge, remove the

cap and screw on the injection end-piece.

192

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

If the specified pressure has not been

reached after about 10 minutes, this means
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
for roadside assistance.

Remove the compressor and stow the kit.

Do not operate the compressor for more
than 10 minutes continuously.
If the compressor seems extremely
hot, switch it off and disconnect it
immediately. Leave it to cool for at
least 30 minutes.

As soon as possible after a repair using
the kit, go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Make sure that you tell the technician
that you have used the kit. After
checking, the technician will advise you
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced.

If the vehicle is fitted with under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp remains on until the
system has been reinitialised.
For more information on Under-
inflation detection, refer to the
corresponding section.

Affix the speed restriction sticker to the

centre of the steering wheel.

Drive off straight away at reduced speed

(50 mph (80 km/h) max) to spread the
sealant product within the tyre.

After about 6 miles (10 km) or 5 minutes,

stop and check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the compressor. If the
pressure has dropped slightly, inflate the
tyre again to the specified figure. Carry out
the same check after another 6 miles
(10 km) or 5 minutes: if the pressure
has not held at the specified figure, this
indicates that the puncture repair has not
sealed; contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop for roadside assistance.

If the pressure is correct, carefully tighten the
tyre valve cap. You can drive at reduced speed
(50 mph (80 km/h) max) to go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic; if possible, the ground
must be level, stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear to block
the wheels.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

List of operations

F If your vehicle has security bolts (available

as an accessory), fit the security bolt
socket 5 to the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the
security bolt.

Slacken the other bolts using the

wheelbrace 1

only.

Never use:
- the jack for anything other than

lifting the vehicle,

- a jack other than the one provided

by the manufacturer.

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

The jack meets the European standard
as defined in Directive 2006/42/CE on
machinery.
The declaration of conformity can be
found at the end of this document.
The name and complete address of
the manufacturer or, as appropriate,
their representative, together with the
designation of the jack are given in this
certificate of conformity.

196

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground

and ensue 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.

Extend the jack 2 until it comes into contact

with the jacking point A or B used; the
contact area A or B

on the vehicle must be

correctly inserted into 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.

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 the jacking point A or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the contact area
on the vehicle is correctly centred on
the head of the jack. Otherwise there
is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/
or of the jack dropping or slipping - Risk
of injury!

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

Remove the wheel.

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

Fitting the wheel

After changing a wheel

When using the "space-saving" 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 CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

List of operations

Put the wheel in place on the hub.

Tighten the bolts fully by hand.

Pre-tighten the anti-theft bolt using the

wheelbrace 1

fitted with the anti-theft

socket 5 (if your vehicle has one).

Pre-tighten the other bolts using only the

wheelbrace 1

Fitting snow tyres

If you fit your vehicle with snow tyres
fitted on steel rims, it is essential to use
special bolts available from CITROËN
dealers or a qualified workshop.

If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

198

In the event of a breakdown

C4-Aircross_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016

Changing a bulb

For bulbs that have alignment lugs
(H1, H7...) ensure that they are
fitted correctly for the best lighting
performance.

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,

use a sponge and soapy water,

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.

Do not touch the bulb directly with

your fingers, use lint-free cloths.

Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for several minutes (risk of serious
burns).
It is imperative to use only
anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
