14. Quickly unscrew the hose C from the
tire valve and replace the protective

or spray out of hose C while you are
disconnecting it. This is normal.

bottle holder E.
16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and
the orange cap are stored safely, but
still easily accessible in your vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tire pressure.
17. Immediately drive approximately
two miles (three kilometers) so that
the sealant can seal the damaged
area.
WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behavior or noises
while driving, reduce your speed
gradually and stop your vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so. Recheck the tire and its
pressure. If the tire 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 tire. This could
cause loss of vehicle control.

Checking the Tire Pressure

WARNING
Before driving, make sure the tire is
adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 220). Monitor the
tire pressure until the sealed tire is
replaced.
