If, after ten minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been ach‐
ieved:
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
defective tyre.
Please note that tyre sealant may leak out when
unscrewing the filling hose.
Drive forwards or reverse very slowly for
#
approximately 10 m.
Pump up the tyre again.

After a maximum of ten minutes the tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tyre pressure not being ach‐
ieved
If the specified tyre pressure is not achieved
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance.
Damaged tyres and a tyre pressure that is
too low can significantly impair braking and
handling characteristics.
Do not drive on.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tyres
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
#
drive carefully.
Do not exceed the maximum speed
#
limit with a tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant.
Breakdown assistance 439
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
#
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h.
Affix the upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
#
to the instrument cluster in a location where
it will be easily seen by the driver.
* NOTE Staining from leaking tyre sealant
After use, excess tyre sealant may leak out
from the filling hose.
Therefore, place the filling hose in the
#
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT
kit.
