Inflate tyres with the compressor
from the emergency puncture repair
kit
The car's original tyres can be inflated using the
compressor in the emergency puncture repair
kit.
1. The compressor must be switched off. Make
sure that the switch is in position 0 and
locate the cable and air hose.
2. 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.
3. Connect the cable to one of the car's
12 V sockets and start the engine.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes could result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine running
in sealed areas or areas that lack sufficient
ventilation.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
4. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to
position I.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must not
run for more than 10 minutes.
5. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure label on the driver side door
pillar. (Release air using the pressure reduc-
ing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.)
6. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and cable.
7. Refit the dust cap.
