15. Take the label indicating
maximum permitted speed from
the kit and affix in the driver's field
of view.
16. Continue driving immediately so
that sealant is evenly distributed
throughout the tyre. After driving
approx. 5 km (3 miles) (but no
more than 10 minutes), stop and
check tyre pressure, using the
compressor.
17. If the tyre pressure has not
dropped below 130 kPa (1.3 bar /
19 psi), it may be adjusted to the
prescribed value. Repeat the
procedure until there is no more
loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has dropped
below 130 kPa (1.3 bar / 19 psi),
the vehicle must not be driven.
Seek the assistance of
a workshop.
18. Stow tyre repair kit below the floor
carpet in the load compartment.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre is severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30
minutes.
Pay attention to storage information
and best before date on sealant
bottle. Its sealing capability is not
guaranteed after this time.
Replace the used sealant bottle.
Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.

Wheel changing

Some vehicles are equipped with
a tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel 3 111.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-slippery surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
■ Apply the parking brake and
engage first gear, reverse gear or
P.
■ Remove the spare wheel 3 116.
■ Never change more than one wheel
at a time.
■ Use the jack only to change wheels
in case of puncture, not for
seasonal winter or summer tyre
change.
■ If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm/0.4 inches thick) should
be placed under the jack.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up
vehicle.
■ Do not start the vehicle when it is
raised on the jack.
