304 Breakdown assistance
Do not switch off the tyre inflation compres‐
sor during this phase.
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
#
maximum of ten minutes.
The tyre should then have attained a tyre
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble to use clean water.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy‐
lene.
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.
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approx‐
#
imately 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.
#
If, after ten minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been achieved:
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tyres
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
#
drive carefully.
Do not exceed the specified maximum
#
speed with a tyre that has been sealed
using tyre sealant.
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 where it will be eas‐
ily seen by the driver.
* NOTE Staining from leaking tyre sealant
After use, excess tyre sealant may leak out
from the filling hose.
