Once a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is achieved, continue the journey at
a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes
WARNING
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is being
■
inflated – there is a risk of injury.
Do not place the hot tyre inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable
■
materials – there is a risk of fire.
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage sus-
■
tained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.
Do not drive the vehicle. Seek help from a specialist garage.

ing it on again.
Check after 10 minutes' driving
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 180.
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes!
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or less

Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler
cap).
