Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to
87 psi (6 bar) but will drop again after about
30 seconds.
WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behaviour or
noises while driving, reduce your
speed and drive with caution to a place
where it is safe for you to stop your vehicle.
Recheck the tire and its pressure. If the tire
pressure is less than 44 psi (3 bar) or if
there are any cracks, bumps or similar
damage visible, do not continue driving
with this tire.
Checking the Tire Pressure
1. Stop your vehicle after driving
approximately six miles (10
kilometers). Check and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tire.
2. Attach the kit and check the tire
pressure from the pressure gauge D.
3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tire
is 44 psi (3 bar) or more, adjust it to the
specified pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 177).
4. Follow the inflation procedure once
again to inflate the tire.
5. Check the tire pressure again from the
pressure gauge D. If the tire pressure is
too high, deflate the tire to the
specified pressure using the pressure
relief valve B.
6. If the tire pressure is below 44 psi (3
bar), repeat steps 13 to 16 and steps 1
to 5 (Checking the Tire Pressure).
7. Once you have inflated the tire to its
correct tire pressure, move the
compressor switch F to position 0,
remove the power plug E from the
socket, unscrew the sealant bottle
hose, fasten the valve cap and replace
the protective cap A.
8. Drive to the nearest tire specialist to
get the damaged tire replaced. Before
the tire is removed from the rim, inform
the tire specialist that the tire contains
sealant. Renew the kit as soon as
possible after it has been used once.
Note: Remember that the kit only provides
temporary mobility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after using the 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 177). 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 an authorized
dealer or dispose of it in compliance with
local waste disposal regulations.
