Vehicle care
5. Screw tyre inflation hose to valve.
6. Screw air hose onto compressor
connection.
7. Switch on ignition.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
8. Press on/off switch on the
compressor. The tyre is filled with
sealant.
9. The compressor pressure gauge
briefly indicates up to six bar
whilst the sealant bottle is
emptying (approx. 30 seconds).
Then the pressure starts to drop.
10. All of the sealant is pumped into
the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
11. The prescribed tyre pressure
should be obtained within ten
minutes. Tyre pressure 3 253.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor by pressing the on/off
switch again.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within ten minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
ten minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Release excess tyre pressure
using ].
Do not run the compressor for
longer than ten minutes.
12. Push catch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw
the tyre inflation hose to the free
connection of the sealant bottle.
This prevents sealant from
escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in
load compartment.
13. Remove any excess sealant
using a cloth.
14. Take the label indicating
maximum permitted speed from
the sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.
15. Continue driving immediately so
that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
10 km (but no more than ten
minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.
If tyre pressure is more than
1.3 bar, set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
16. Stow away tyre repair kit in load
compartment.
