the orange cap are stored safely, but
still easily accessible in the vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tyre pressure.
17. Immediately drive approximately
three kilometres (two miles) so that
the sealant can seal the damaged
area.
Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to
6 bar (87 psi) but will drop again after about
30 seconds.
WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behaviour or
noises while driving, reduce your
speed and drive with caution to a place
where it is safe for you to stop the vehicle.
Recheck the tyre and its pressure. If the
tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi) or
if there are any cracks, bumps or similar
damage visible, do not continue driving
with this tyre.

Checking the tyre pressure

1. Stop the vehicle after driving
approximately three kilometres
(two miles). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tyre.
2. Attach the kit and read the tyre
pressure from the pressure gauge F.
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 162).
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.
