If and when
– If the tyre pressure remains lower than the value specified above
drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forwards or backwards, so
that the sealant can spread evenly in the tyre. If the pressure is
still lower than the specification the tyre is too badly damaged
and cannot be repaired using the tyre sealant.
Final check
– After about 10 minutes, stop to check the tyre pressure.
– If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is too badly
damaged. Do not drive on! You should obtain professional
assistance.
WARNING
•
If you have a puncture in heavy traffic, switch on the hazard warning
lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location. This is for your
own safety and also warns other road users.
•
Make sure your passengers wait in a safe place (for instance behind the
roadside crash barrier).
•
Please observe the manufacturers' safety notes on the compressor and
the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
•
If it was not possible to build up a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar within 6
minutes this means that the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on!
•
Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not
possible with the sealing compound.
•
If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar after driving about 10 minutes, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on! Obtain technical assistance.
Caution
Take special care if you have to repair a tyre on a slope.
Note
•
Do not use the compressor for longer than 6 minutes. Otherwise, it might
overheat. When the compressor has cooled down, you can use it again.
•
If tyre sealant should leak out, leave it to dry and then pull it off like foil.
•
After carrying out a tyre repair remember to buy a new tyre sealant can at
a qualified workshop. This will ensure that the Tyre Mobility System is opera-
tive again.
•
Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
