Affix part : of the TIREFIT sticker to the
X
instrument cluster within the driver's field of
vision.
Affix part ; of the TIREFIT sticker near the
X
valve on the wheel with the defective tire.
Remove filler hose B and connector = from
X
the bottom section of tire inflation compres-
sor housing ;.
Slide the yellow filler hose connector into the
X
mounting on yellow cap A of tire sealant filler
bottle : until the connector engages.
With the sealing rings in front, slide yellow cap
X
A of tire sealant bottle : into the mounting
of tire inflation compressor ;. The cap must
engage in both hooks.
Remove the cap from valve C on the faulty
X
tire.
Screw filler hose D onto valve C.

( page 286) or into another 12 V socket in
Y
your vehicle ( page 286).

Turn the SmartKey to position 1 in the ignition
X
lock ( page 135).
Y
Press on and off switch ? on the tire inflation
X
compressor to ON position.
The tire inflation compressor is switched on.
The tire is inflated.
First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire. The
pressure may briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
X
maximum of ten minutes. The tire should then
have attained a pressure of at least 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi).
If a pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tire pres-
sure reached" ( page 315).
Y
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not been attained after five minutes, see "Tire
pressure not reached" (
If tire sealant has escaped, clean it off affected
areas as quickly as possible. Use plain water if
possible.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant, have
them cleaned with perchloroethylene at a dry
cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not been attained after ten minutes:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
X
faulty tire.
Tire sealant may escape when the filler hose is
unscrewed.
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approx-
X
imately 30 ft (10 m).
Pump up the tire again.
X
After a maximum of ten minutes, the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
