16. Sealant and air hose: If the flat
tyre has been inflated to the
recommended inflation pressure,
remove the maximum speed label
from the sealant canister and
place it in a highly visible location.
Do not exceed the speed
recommended on this label until
the damaged tyre is repaired or
replaced.
17. Sealant and air hose: Immediately
drive the vehicle 5 miles to
distribute the sealant in the tyre.
18. Sealant and air hose: Stop at a
safe location and check the tyre
pressure. Refer to steps 1 - 11 by
using the air only hose.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
more than 0.7 bar below the
recommended inflation pressure,
stop driving the vehicle. The tyre
is too severely damaged and the
tyre sealant cannot seal the tyre.
If the tyre pressure has not
dropped more than 0.7 bar below
the recommended inflation
pressure, inflate the tyre to the
recommended inflation pressure.
19. Sealant and air hose: Wipe off any
sealant from the wheel, tyre and
vehicle.
20. Sealant and air hose: Dispose of
the used sealant canister and the
clear sealant/air hose assembly at
a local dealer or in accordance
with local laws and practices.
21. Sealant and air hose: Replace it
with a new canister available from
a workshop.
22. Sealant and air hose: After
temporarily sealing a tyre using
the tyre repair kit, take the vehicle
to a workshop within a driving
distance of 100 miles to have the
tyre repaired or replaced.
The tyre repair kit has an accessory
adapter located in a compartment on
the bottom of its housing that may be
used to inflate air mattresses, balls,
etc.
