172 - Practical advice
If the vehicle is parked
on the hard shoulder,
you must warn other
road users of your
vehicle's presence with a warning
triangle or with other devices as
per the legislation applying to the
country you are in.
If the recommended pressure of 1.8
bar cannot be achieved after 15
minutes, repair is impossible. Do
not drive the vehicle. Consult an
authorised dealer.
Nothing should be
placed around the
driver’sfeetasduring
sudden braking such
objects may slide under the
pedals and obstruct their use.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: unscrew the inflation
adapter slowly from the container
3
to
prevent any product spatter and store
the container in plastic packaging to
prevent product leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation
label (located under the container) to
the dashboard where the driver can
see it.
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation
operation, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance in
order to seal the hole.
– Start the vehicle immediately and
drive at a speed of 12 to 37 mph (20 to
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre. After driving
a distance of 2 miles (3 km), stop the
vehicle and check the tyre pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3
bar but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver's door or,
depending on the vehicle, on the base
of driver's door) and readjust it.
Otherwise, contact an approved
dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.
Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for
more than 15 consecutive minutes.
The container must be replaced after
the first use even if liquid remains
inside.
Following repair with the
kit, do not travel further
than 124 miles (200 km).
In addition, reduce your
speed and under no
circumstances exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h). The sticker, which you
must affix in a prominent position
on the dashboard, reminds you of
this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with
the inflation kit will need to be
replaced.
