WARNING
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot- risk
■
of injury!
Do not place the hot tyre inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable
■
materials - risk of fire!
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage sus-

tained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.
Do not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance!

Check after driving for 10 minutes
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 194.
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes!
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:
›
Do not drive the vehicle! You cannot properly seal with tyre with the break-
down kit.
›
Get professional assistance.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:
›
Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler
cap).
›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest ŠKODA specialist garage at a maxi-
mum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
