Danger of accidents: If the required tyre pressure is still unattainable the tyre is too severely damaged. In this case the tyre repair kit can no longer provide an effective seal. Do not, therefore, drive any further. Notify a service station or the 24-hour service hotline. Open the air hose on the tyre valve. Insert the plug into the cigar lighter socket. Then pump the tyres (Fig. 7). do not operate the electric air pump longer than 8 minutes! Danger of overheating! If sufficient air pres- sure is unattainable, drive 10 meters (either forward or in reverse) so that the sealant can be evenly distributed within the tyre. Repeat the pumping process. Resume driving immediately, so that the sealant can be evenly distributed within the tyre. Maximum speed: 80 km/h. Especially in curves. Check tyre pressure after driving 10 minutes. If the tyre pressure has fallen under this minimum value , you may not drive any further.
