3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tyre
is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it to
the specified pressure. See
Technical specifications (page
211).
4. Follow the inflation procedure once
again to top up the tyre.
5. Check the tyre pressure again from
the pressure gauge F. If the tyre
pressure is too high, deflate the tyre
to the specified pressure using the
pressure relief valve B.
6. Once you have inflated the tyre to its
correct tyre pressure, move the
compressor switch H to position 0,
remove the power plug G from the
socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten
the valve cap and replace the
protective cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle
holder E and store the kit away safely
in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist to
get the damaged tyre replaced.
Before the tyre is removed from the
rim, inform your tyre dealer that the
tyre contains sealant. Renew the kit
as soon as possible after it has been
used once.
Note: Remember that emergency
roadside tyre repair kits only provide
temporary mobility. Regulations
concerning tyre repair after usage of tyre
repair kit may differ from country to
country. You should consult a tyre
specialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure the tyre
is adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See Technical
specifications (page 211). Monitor the
tyre pressure until the sealed tyre is
replaced.
Wheels and tyres
Empty sealant bottles can be disposed
of together with normal household waste.
Return remains of sealant to your dealer
or dispose of it in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.
TYRE CARE
E70415
To make sure the front and rear tyres of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tyres
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 5 000 and 10 000
km (3 000 and 6 000 miles).
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts,
foreign objects and uneven wear of the
tread. Uneven wear could mean that the
wheel alignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tyres when you are parking.
