274 Vehicle Care
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tyre valve stem
is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will
reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap
from the flat tyre by turning it
anticlockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (6)
onto the tyre valve stem. Turn
it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (8) into the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Sockets 0 101.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a
cigarette lighter, use the
cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle
must be running while using
the air compressor.
8. Press and turn the selector
switch (1) anticlockwise to the
Sealant + Air position.
9. Press the on/off button (2) to
turn the tyre sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tyre.
The pressure gauge (3) will
initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes
the sealant into the tyre. Once
the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tyre, the
pressure will quickly drop and
start to rise again as the tyre
inflates with air only.
10. Inflate the tyre to the
recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (3). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tyre and Loading
Information label. See Tyre
Pressure 0 258.
The pressure gauge (3) may
read higher than the actual tyre
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor off
to get an accurate reading. The
compressor may be turned on/
off until the correct pressure is
reached.
Caution
If the recommended pressure
cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tyre is too severely
damaged and the tyre sealant
and compressor kit cannot inflate
the tyre. Remove the power plug
from the accessory power outlet
and unscrew the inflating hose
from the tyre valve.
11. Press the on/off button (2) to
turn the tyre sealant and
compressor kit off.
The tyre is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the
sealant is distributed in the
