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.
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.
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.
3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tire
is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it to
the specified pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 262).
4. Follow the inflation procedure once
again to top up the tire.
5. Check the tire pressure again from the
pressure gauge F. If the tire pressure is
too high, deflate the tire to the
specified pressure using the pressure
relief valve B.
6. Once you have inflated the tire to its
correct tyre pressure, move the
compressor switch H to position 0,
remove the power plug G from the
socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten the
valve cap and replace the protective
cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle
holder E and store the kit away safely
in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tire specialist to
get the damaged tire replaced. Before
the tire is removed from the rim, inform
your tire dealer that the tire contains
sealant. Renew the kit as soon as
possible after it has been used once.
Note: Remember that emergency roadside
tire repair kits only provide temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning tire repair
after usage of tire repair kit may differ from
country to country. You should consult a tire
specialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure the tire is
adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 262). Monitor the
tire pressure until the sealed tire is
replaced.
Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of
together with normal household waste.
Return remains of sealant to your dealer
or dispose of it in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.
