Prepare the vehicle (
X
Do not remove any foreign objects which have
penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or nails.
X
Remove the tyre sealant bottle, the accom-
panying "max. 80 km/h" sticker and the tyre
inflation compressor from the left-hand stow-
age compartment in the load compartment.
X
Affix the sticker with warning notice A to the
dashboard within the driver's field of vision.
X
Remove tyre sealant bottle cap ; and cap =
from the thread.
i Do not remove the seal from tyre sealant
bottle :.

Screw tyre sealant bottle : with the top
facing downwards onto thread =.
X
Remove the cap from the valve on the faulty
tyre.
X
Screw thread C of the filler hose onto the
valve.

( page 103).
X
Press on/off switch B on the tyre inflation
compressor.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched on.
The tyre begins to inflate.
i First, tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
Manometer ? may briefly display a pressure
of up to approximately 600 kPa (6 bar, 87 psi).
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.

X
To increase the pressure continue filling, to
reduce the pressure turn knob D.
X
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for five
minutes. The tyre should then have attained a
pressure of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
! Do not operate the tyre inflation compres-
sor for longer than ten minutes at a time with-
out a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see
Y
( page 174).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not
been attained after five minutes, see
Y
( page 174).
Tyre pressure not reached
If, after five minutes, a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Remove the connector from the 12 V socket
on the centre console.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve on the
defective tyre.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or backwards
approximately 10 m.
X
Pump up the tyre again.
After a maximum of five minutes, the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi).

WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres and a tyre
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
