Once a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is achieved, continue the journey
at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING
If the tyre does not inflate to at least 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The
■
sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-
■
ing inflated – risk of burning.
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor at the latest after the running time according to
the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer has elapsed – otherwise there is
the risk of compressor damage! Allow the air compressor to cool a few mi-
nutes before switching it on again.

A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just be-
■
low 0 °C. If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the bat-
tery of another vehicle – risk of explosion!
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an acid level that is too low – risk
■
of explosion and caustic burns!
Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicle
Fig. 317 Jump-starting: - Discharged battery, - power-supplying
battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe
on page 279 first.
If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start
cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the
current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the
discharged battery in your vehicle.
