Disassembling
Tire Mobility
System
-
Remove the hose from the valve and pull the plug out of
the socket.
- Screw the dust cap onto the valve.
-
Place the empty sealant bottle back in the original pack-
aging and clip it in place under the floor so that no tire
sealant can run out into the vehicle.
- Start driving right away so that the sealant is distributed
in the tire.
&
WARNING
Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions on the decal for
the air pump and the sealant bottle.
If a tire pressure of 1.8 bar cannot be achieved after pumping
for 5 minutes, the tire is too severely damaged . Do not continue to
drive.
Seek professional assistance if it is not possible to repair the
tire with the tire sealant.

Tips
Do not operate the electric air pump for more than 8 minutes
without stopping, otherwise
it
can overheat . When the air pump has
cooled down, you can continue to use it.
If sealant has escaped, allow it to dry, then you can peel it off. •
Final check
After driving for a short distance, tire pressure must be
checked.
- After driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the
tire pressure.
-
If tire pressure is still at least 1.3 bar, inflate the tire to
specified pressure (see driver's side B-pillar), drive to the
next repair shop and have the tire and the sealant bottle
replaced.
-
If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tire is too severely
damaged. Do not continue to drive. Seek professional
assistance.
&
WARNING
If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar after driving for 10 minutes, the
tire is too severely damaged. Do not continue to drive. Seek profes-
sional assistance.
