Continuing your journey
1. Disconnect the compressor and un-
screw the tyre filler hose from the tyre
valve.
2.
Immediately drive on with a speed of no
faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) once
a tyre pressure of 2.0–2.5 bar (29–
36 psi/200–250 kPa) has been
reached.
3. Check the tyre pressure aer driving for
10 minutes.
Check aer driving for 10 minutes
1. Park the vehicle on a firm and level sur-
face at the next safe opportunity, e.g.
a car park.
2. Reconnect the tyre filler hose
→ Fig. 228
2 or → Fig. 230 6 and read
the tyre pressure on the tyre pressure
displa
y → Fig. 228
4 or → Fig. 230 1 .
1.3 bar (1
9 psi / 130 kPa) and lower:
1. Do not drive on! T
he tyre cannot be
sealed adequately with the breakdown
set →
. Seek assistance from a suita-
bly qualified workshop.
1.4 bar (
20 psi / 140 kPa) and higher:
1. Adjust the tyre pressure back to the cor-
rec
t value.
2. Drive carefully to the nearest suitably
qualified workshop. Do not exceed
a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
3. Have the damaged tyres replaced by
a suitably qualified workshop.
WARNING
The tyre filler hose and c
ompressor can
become hot during the inflation process
and cause burns if touched.
·
Protect your hands and skin from hot
components.
·
Do not place the hot tyre filler hose and
the hot compressor on any flammable
materials.
·
Allow the tyre filler hose and the com-
pressor to cool down before stowing
them.
WARNING
If the defective tyre cannot be sealed ad-
equately with the breakdown set, the tyre
will lose air when driving.
This can lead to tyre failure, loss of con-
trol of the vehicle, accidents, serious inju-
ries and death.
·
If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0
bar (29 psi/200 kPa), the tyre is too
damaged. The sealant is unable to seal
the tyre. Do not drive on. Instead, seek
assistance from a suitably qualified
workshop.
·
Do not carry on driving if the tyre pres-
sure is 1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa) or lower
aer driving for 10 minutes. Instead,
seek assistance from a suitably quali-
fied workshop.
