The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pum-
ped into the tire. The pressure may briefly rise
to approximately 500 kPa (5.0 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation compressor
during this phase!
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a max-
#
imum of ten minutes.
The tire should then have attained a tire pres-
sure 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.

& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being achieved
If the specified tire pressure is not achieved
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
The braking characteristics as well as the driv-
ing characteristics may be greatly impaired.
