Wheel Changing - Vauxhall Astra 2022 Owner's Manual

18. Continue driving immediately so
that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
3 miles but no more than ten
minutes, stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve when
doing this. Fill tyre as described
before. Drain excess tyre
pressure with the button on the air
hose.
If tyre pressure hasn't decreased
under 200 kPa (2.0 bar), set it to
the correct value 3 248.
Otherwise the vehicle must not be
used. Seek assistance of a
workshop.
Repeat the checking procedure
once more after driving further
6 miles but no more than ten
minutes to check that there is no
more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 200 kPa (2.0 bar), the
vehicle must not be used. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
19. Stow away tyre repair kit in load
compartment.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre are severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30 min.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of seven bar (102 psi).
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.
Vehicle care
Replace the used sealant bottle.
Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be
used from approx. -30 °C.
