1. Remove the kit from the wrapping.
2. Peel off the label A showing the
maximum permissible speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) from the sealant
bottle and attach it to the instrument
panel in the driver's field of view. Make
sure the label does not obscure
anything important.
3. Take the hose H with the pressure relief
valve I and the power plug with cable
F out of the kit.
4. Connect the hose H with the pressure
relief valve I to the sealant bottle B.
5. Engage the sealant bottle B into the
bottle holder D.
6. Remove the valve cap from the
damaged tyre.
7. Screw the sealant bottle hose C firmly
onto the valve of the damaged tyre.
8. Make sure that the compressor switch
G is in position 0.
9. Insert the power plug F into the cigar
lighter socket or auxiliary power socket.
See Auxiliary Power Points (page
91). See Cigar Lighter (page 91).
10. Start the engine.
11. Move the compressor switch G to
position 1.
12. Inflate the tyre for no longer than 10
minutes to an inflation pressure of
minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) and a
maximum of 51 psi (3.5 bar). Move
the compressor switch G to position
0 and check the current tyre pressure
with pressure gauge E.
Note: If a tyre pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar)
is not reached do not continue.
Wheels and Tyres
Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to
87 psi (6 bar) but will drop again after about
30 seconds.
Note: After you have switched the
compressor off, you may hear air escaping
from the damaged tyre. This is normal and
can be ignored provided that the specified
minimum tyre pressure has been reached.

Note: Some residual sealant fluid may drip
or spray out of hose C while you are
disconnecting it. This is normal.

speed and drive with caution to a place
where it is safe for you to stop your vehicle.
Recheck the tyre and its pressure. If the
tyre pressure is less than 14.7 psi (1 bar) or
if there are any cracks, bumps or similar
damage visible, do not continue driving
with this tyre.

Remove the power plug F from the
cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power
socket.
Quickly unscrew the hose C from the
tyre valve. Fasten the valve cap again.
Leave the sealant bottle B in the
bottle holder D.
Make sure the kit is stored safely, but
still easily accessible in your vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tyre pressure.
Immediately drive approximately
two miles (three kilometres) so that
the sealant can seal the damaged
area.
WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behaviour or
noises while driving, reduce your
Stop your vehicle after driving
approximately two miles (three
kilometres). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tyre.
