the valve.
6. Plug the cable into the 12 V socket and
start the car.
NOTE
If the compressor is connected to one of
the two 12 V sockets, in the tunnel con-
sole, no other current consumer must be

WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the
compressor is running. If cracks or
unevenness arise then the compressor
must be switched off immediately. The
journey should not be continued. Contact-
ing an authorised tyre centre is recom-
mended.
NOTE
When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.
8. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.
9. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Mini-
mum pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum
3.5 bar. (Release air with the pressure
reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too
high.)
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the
hole in the tyre is too big. The journey
should not be continued. Contacting an
authorised tyre centre is recommended.
10. Switch off the compressor and unplug the
cable from the 12 V socket.
11. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and
fit the valve cap.
12. As soon as possible, drive approximately
3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.
Rechecking the repair and pressure
1. Reconnect the equipment.
2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is
insufficiently sealed. The journey
should not be continued. Contact a
tyre centre.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3
bar, the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure specified in accordance with
the tyre pressure table, see page 412
(1 bar=100 kPa). Release air using the
