.
●
Keep the air compressor running until it
reaches a pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36psi/
200-250kPa). A maximum of 8 minutes.
●
Disconnect the air compressor.
●
If it does not reach the pressure indicated,
unscrew the tyre inator tube from the valve.
●
Move the vehicle 10m so that the sealant is
distributed throughout the tyre.
●
Screw the compressor tyre inator into the
valve.
●
Repeat the ination process.
●
If it still does not come up to pressure, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Stop and seek assis-
tance from authorised personnel.
●
Disconnect the air compressor. Unscrew the
tyre ination tube from the tyre valve.
●
When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, continue driving without exceeding
80km/h (50 mph).
●
Attach the sticker ›››Fig.213

to the in-
strument panel display, within the driver's eld

●
Check the pressure again after 10minutes
›››page317.
WARNING
When inating the wheel, the air compressor
and the inator tube may become hot.
●
Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
●
Do not place the hot exible inator tube
or hot air compressor on ammable material.
●
Allow them to cool before storing the de-
vice.
●
If it is not possible to inate the tyre to at
least 2.0bars (29psi / 200kPa), the tyre is
too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
good condition to seal the tyre. Do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance.
NOTICE
Switch o the air compressor after a maxi-
mum of 8 operational minutes to avoid over-
heating! Before switching on the air com-
pressor again, let it cool for several minutes.
Check after 10 minutes of driving

1.3bar (19psi / 130kPa) and lower:
●
Stop the vehicle! The tyre cannot be sealed
suiciently with the tyre mobility set.
●
You should obtain professional assistance

1.4 bar (20 psi/140 kPa) and higher:
●
Set the tyre pressure to the correct value
again.
●
Carefully resume your journey until you
reach the nearest specialised workshop with-
out exceeding 80km/h (50mph).
●
Have the damaged tyre replaced.
WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous
and can cause accidents and serious injury.
●
Do not continue driving if the tyre pressure
is 1.3bar (19psi / 130kPa) and lower.
●
Seek specialist assistance.
