Inflating tyres

Set up the warning triangle if a tyre must be
inflated in an area close to traffic.
– Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in
position 0 and take out the lead (5) and
air hose (4) from the side
compartment (3).
– Screw the air hose's valve connection to
the bottom of the thread on the tyre's air
valve.
– Connect the lead (5) to one of the car's
12 V sockets.
– Start the engine. The car must be in a
well-ventilated place.
– Start the compressor by flicking the
switch (2) to position I.
– Pump up the tyre to the pressure
specified on the tyre pressure label.
– Turn off the compressor, the switch (2)
should be in position 0. Detach the air
hose and unplug the lead. Replace the
valve's dust cap.
– Put the lead (5) and air hose (4) into the
side compartment (3).
– Put the puncture repair kit back under the
floor in the cargo area.
– The compressor should not run for more
than 10 minutes at a time. Let it cool
afterwards as there is a risk of
overheating.
Wheels and tyres
