Checking and correcting the
pressure
The compressor must be used to check and
correct the pressure of a tyre, as follows:
- disconnect the pipe I ,
- connect it directly to the tyre valve,
the cartridge will then be connected to the
compressor and the filling fluid will not be
injected.
Replacing the repair cartridge
Disconnect the pipe I .
Turn the empty cartridge anticlockwise and
lift it.
Insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise.
Reconnect the pipe I and connect the pipe B
in its location.
The repair cartridge contains ethylene-
glycol, a product which is harmful if
swallowed and which causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the used cartridge
carelessly, take it to a CITROËN dealer or to
an organisation responsible for its collection.
If the tyre has to be deflated:
- connect the pipe I to the tyre valve,
- press the yellow button, located in the
centre of the switch F on the compressor.
