DS 3: Temporary puncture repair kit / Checking/adjusting tyre pressures
DS 3 2016-2026 Owners Manual
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
- Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it
in a clean place.
- Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
- Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly.
- Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
- Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
- Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
- Switch the ignition on.
- 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 after 7 minutes the
pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged; contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
- Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position "O".
- Remove the kit and stow it.
- Refit the cap on the valve.
Should the pressure of one
or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Do not remove any foreign
bodies (e.g.
nail, screw) which have penetrated into
the tyre.
Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic

Load distribution
Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum towable
load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of
altitude.
