Using the TIREFIT kit
Do not remove any foreign objects which have
X
penetrated the tire, e.g. screws or nails.
Remove the tire sealant bottle, the accompa-
X
nying TIREFIT sticker and the tire inflation
compressor from the stowage well under-
neath the trunk floor (
Affix part : of the TIREFIT sticker to the
X
instrument cluster within the driver's field of
vision.
Affix part ; of the TIREFIT sticker near the
X
valve on the wheel with the defective tire.
Remove filler hose B and connector = from
X
the bottom section of tire inflation compres-
sor housing ;.
Slide the yellow filler hose connector into the
X
mounting on yellow cap A of tire sealant filler
bottle : until the connector engages.
With the sealing rings in front, slide yellow cap

Press on and off switch ? on the tire inflation
X
compressor to ON position.
The tire inflation compressor is switched on.
The tire is inflated.
First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire. The
pressure may briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
X
maximum of ten minutes. The tire should then
have attained 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 five minutes, see "Tire pres-
sure reached" (
page 317).
Y
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
not been attained after five minutes, see "Tire
pressure not reached" (
If tire sealant has escaped, clean it off affected
areas as quickly as possible. Use plain water if
possible.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant, have
them cleaned with perchloroethylene at a dry
cleaner as soon as possible.
