NOTICE
The compressor can overheat during ex-
tended operation. There is a risk of damage
to property. Do not run the compressor for
more than 10 minutes.
Filling the tire with sealing compound
1. With standby state or drive-ready state
switched on, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes
to fill in the tire sealant and reach a tire
pressure of 2.5 bar/36 psi.
While the tire is being filled with tire sealant,
the tire pressure can briefly reach approx.
6 bar/87 psi. Do not turn off the compres-
sor in this phase.
2. Switch off the compressor.
Checking the tire pressure
Read the tire pressure on the tire pressure dis-
play of the compressor. The tire pressure must
be at least 2.5 bar/36 psi.
Tire pressure too high
If the tire pressure is too high, reduce the tire
pressure with the pressure reducing valve on
the compressor.
Minimum tire inflation pressure is not
reached
Do not continue driving unless a minimum tire
pressure of 2.5 bar/36 psi is reached. Contact

Minimum tire inflation pressure is
reached
1. Pull the connector out of the socket in the
vehicle interior.
2. Disconnect the hose from the sealant bottle
and the valve on the wheel.
3. Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
4. Stow the tire repair set in the cargo area.

If possible, do not drive at speeds less than
12 mph/20 km/h.
Tire sealant may spray from the damaged
area during the initial wheel rotations.

sor and turn clockwise by 90° until it audi-
bly engages.
