Switch on the tire inflation compressor using
#
On/Off switch 3.
The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pum‐
ped into the tire. The pressure may briefly
rise to approximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation compres‐
sor during this phase.
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
#
maximum of ten minutes.
The tire should then have attained a tire
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble to use clean water.
If you get tire sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy‐
lene.
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been
attained:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
faulty tire.
Please note that tire sealant may leak out when
unscrewing the filling hose.
Drive forwards or reverse very slowly for
#
approximately 33 ft (10 m).
Pump up the tire again.
#
After a maximum of ten minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being attained
If the minimum tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
The braking and driving characteristics may
be greatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
faulty tire.
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
#
drive carefully.
Do not exceed the maximum speed
#
limit with a tire that has been repaired
using tire sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
#
a tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph
(80 km/h).
