Checking/Adjusting Tyre Pressures - CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS Handbook

In the event of a breakdown
F Stop to check the repair and measure the
tyre pressure using the kit.
Do not exceed the speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
You can also use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and, if
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.
F Remove the valve cap from the tyre and
keep it in a clean place.
F Uncoil the pipe stowed under the
compressor.

F Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly.
F Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
F Fully uncoil the electric cable, stowed under
the compressor.
F Connect the compressor's electric plug to
one of the vehicle's 12 V sockets.
F Switch on the ignition.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.
F Start the compressor by placing the switch
at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the
value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure
label. To deflate: press the black button
located on the compressor pipe, near the
valve connection.
If a pressure of 2 bars is not reached after
7 minutes, this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop for assistance.
F Once the correct pressure is reached, put
the switch in position "O".
F Remove the kit then stow it.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km)
with a repaired tyre; see a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to change
the tyre.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

inflation detection, refer to the
corresponding section.
