2. Peel off the label I showing the
maximum permissible speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) from the casing and
attach it to the instrument panel in the
driver’s field of view. Make sure the
label does not obscure anything
important.
3. Take the hose C and the power plug
with cable G out of the kit.
4. Unscrew the orange cap D and the
bottle lid J.
5. Screw the sealant bottle K clockwise
into the bottle holder E fully tight.
6. Remove the valve cap from the
damaged tire.
7. Detach the protective cap A from the
hose C and screw the hose C firmly
onto the valve of the damaged tire.
8. Make sure that the compressor switch
H is in position 0.
9. Insert the power plug G into the cigar
lighter socket or auxiliary power socket.
See Cigar Lighter (page 118). See
Auxiliary Power Points (page 119).
10. Start the engine.
11. Move the compressor switch H to
position 1.
12. Inflate the tire for no longer than 10
minutes to an inflation pressure of
minimum 1.8 bar (26 psi) and a
maximum of 3.5 bar (51 psi). Move
the compressor switch H to position
0 and check the current tire pressure
with pressure gauge F.
Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to
6 bar (87 psi) but will drop again after about
30 seconds.
Note: After you have switched the
compressor off, you may hear air escaping
from the damaged tire. This is normal and
can be ignored provided that the specified
minimum tire pressure has been reached.
13. Remove the power plug G from the
cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power
socket.
14. Quickly unscrew the hose C from the
tire valve and replace the protective
cap A. Fasten the valve cap again.
Note: Some residual sealant fluid may drip
or spray out of hose C while you are
disconnecting it. This is normal.
15. Leave the sealant bottle K in the
bottle holder E.
16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and
the orange cap are stored safely, but
still easily accessible in the vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tire pressure.
17. Immediately drive approximately
three kilometers (two miles) 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 and
drive with caution to a place where it is
safe for you to stop the vehicle. 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.
Checking the tire pressure
1. Stop the vehicle after driving
approximately three kilometers
(two miles). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tire.
2. Attach the kit and read the tire pressure
from the pressure gauge F.
