❒ Pull up the handbrake. Unscrew the tyre valve
cap, take out the flexible filler pipe A fig. 104 and
tighten the ring nut B fig. 104 on the tyre valve;
❒ make sure that switch D fig. 105 for the
compressor is in position 0 (off), start the engine,
insert plug E fig. 106 into the power socket and
switch on the compressor by placing switch D fig.
105 in position I (on). Inflate the tyre to the
pressure specified in the "Tyre pressure" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications" section.
Check tyre pressure on gauge F with compressor off
to obtain a more precise reading; fig. 105 with the
compressor off;
❒ if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards approx. ten metres in order to distribute
the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then repeat
the inflation operation;
fig. 104
❒ if after this operation you still cannot reach at least
1.8 bar after 5 minutes, do not resume driving
because the tyre is too damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing.
