.
•
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
ination pressure is between
2.0-2.5 bar, continue driving without exceed-
ing 80 km/h (50 mph).
•
Attach the sticker ››› Fig. 204

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

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.

1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) and lower:
•
Stop the vehicle! The tyre cannot be sealed
suiciently with the tyre mobility set.

.
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.
