DS 3: Temporary puncture repair kit / Checking/adjusting tyre pressures
DS 3 2016-2024 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

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
manages overall braking pressure on each
indiv..
