Sealing punctured tyres
Set up the warning triangle if an emergency tyre
repair must be carried out in an area where there
is other traffic.
· Remove the decal (1) regarding the highest
permitted speed from the emergency
puncture repair kit and stick it on the
steering wheel where it can be clearly seen
by the driver.
· Ensure that the orange-coloured switch (2)
is in position 0 and take out the cable (5) and
air hose (4) from the side compartment (3).

bottom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.
· Connect the cable (5) to the car's 12 V socket.
· Release the safety catch (6) and turn the
orange-coloured part (7) 90° to the vertical

WARNING!
Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine
running in sealed areas or areas that lack
sufficient ventilation.
· Start the engine. The car must be in a well-
ventilated area.
· Start the compressor by setting the switch (2)
to position I. A temporary increase in pressure
of maximum 4 bar occurs while the sealant is
being pumped in. After about one minute the
pressure drops and the manometer indicates
a more correct tyre pressure.
· Pump the tyre to a pressure of between
1.8 bar and 3.5 bar. If the pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar after 10 minutes of pumping,
WARNING!
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. Be particularly observant
of the tyre walls. If cracks, irregularities or
other damage appears, turn off the
compressor immediately. Under these cir-
cumstances do not continue your journey.
Contact an authorised tyre centre.
the compressor should be turned off so as
to avoid overheating.
· Undo the air hose (4) from the air valve and
refit the dust cap. Disconnect the cable (5)
from the electric socket. Fold the orange-
coloured part (7) back into its original
position and secure the catch (6). Store the
emergency repair kit in a safe place in the
car.
· Immediately drive about 3 km at no more
than 80 km/h, so that the sealant is able to
seal the tyre well.
WARNING!
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h after the
emergency tyre repair kit has been used.
The temporarily sealed tyre must be chan-
ged as soon as possible (maximum driving
distance 200 km).
