9. Connect the compressor plug to
the power outlet socket.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the en‐
gine.
10. Set the rocker switch on the com‐
pressor to I. The tire is filled with
sealant.
11. The compressor pressure gage
briefly indicates up to 87 psi while
the sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
12. All of the sealant is pumped into
the tire. Then the tire is inflated.
13. The prescribed tire pressure
should be obtained within
10 minutes. When the correct
pressure is obtained, switch off
the compressor.
If the prescribed tire pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tire repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tire rotation. Re‐
attach the tire repair kit and con‐
tinue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. If the prescribed tire
pressure is still not obtained, the
tire is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Vehicle care
Release excess tire pressure with
the button over the pressure indi‐
cator.
Do not run the compressor longer
than 10 minutes.
14. Detach the tire repair kit. Push
catch on bracket to remove seal‐
ant bottle from bracket. Screw tire
inflation hose to the free connec‐
tion of sealant bottle. This pre‐
vents sealant from escaping.
Stow tire repair kit in load com‐
partment.
15. Remove any excess sealant us‐
ing a cloth.
16. Take the label indicating maxi‐
mum permitted speed from the
sealant bottle and affix in the driv‐
er's field of view.
17. Continue driving immediately so
that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tire. After driving approx.
6 miles (but no more than
10 minutes), stop and check tire
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tire valve and
compressor when doing this.
