Inflating the tyres
The car's original tyres can be inflated by the
compressor.

Make sure that the switch is in position 0
and locate the cable and air hose.
– Unscrew the wheel's dust cap and screw
in the air hose valve connection to the
bottom of the thread on the tyre's air
valve.
– Connect the cable to one of the car's 12 V
sockets and start the car.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine run-
ning in enclosed areas or areas that lack
sufficient ventilation.
– Start the compressor by flicking the switch
to position I.
– Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure decal. (Release air using
the pressure reducing valve if the tyre
pressure is too high.)
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.

hose and cable.
