Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
X
maximum of ten minutes. The tyre should
then have reached 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 ten minutes, see "Tyre pres-
sure reached" (
page 329).
Y
If a tyre pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not been attained after ten minutes, see "Tyre
pressure not reached" (
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected area as quickly as possible. It is pref-
erable to use clear water.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy-
lene.
Tyre pressure not reached
If a tyre pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not been reached after ten minutes:
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
X
faulty tyre.
Tyre sealant may leak out when the filler hose
is unscrewed.
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approx-
X
imately 10 m.
Pump up the tyre again.

After a maximum of ten minutes, the tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 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.

WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tyre that
has been repaired using tyre sealant.
The maximum permissible speed for a tyre
sealed with tyre sealant is 80 km/h. The upper
part of the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the
instrument cluster where it will be easily seen by
the driver.
If a tyre pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
been reached after ten minutes:
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
X
faulty tyre.
Tyre sealant may leak out when the filler hose
is unscrewed.
Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre inflation
X
compressor and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.
X
Stop after driving for approximately ten
X
minutes and check the tyre pressure with the
tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, 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 signif-
icantly impair the vehicle's braking and driv-
ing characteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
