Practical hints
E Press I on electric air pump switch 1.
The electric air pump is switched on.
The tire sealant is then pumped into
the tire and the tire pressure is in-
creased.
Allow the electric air pump to run until
tire sealant bottle 8 is completely
empty.
E Press 0 on electric air pump switch 1
after about 15 seconds.
E Unscrew angle bracket c from tire
valve b and remove it.
E Screw in the valve core with the valve
tool again and take out the valve tool
through the opening.
i If the valve insert is damaged or lost when it
is unscrewed, you can use the valve insert of the
tire sealant bottle after you have used the tire
sealant.
E Unscrew the valve insert from the valve
of the tire sealant bottle using the valve
extractor.
! Do not run the electric air pump for more
than 20 minutes without a break; otherwise, it
may overheat. The air pump can be used again
once it has cooled down.
E Press angle bracket 2 on hose 3 of
the electric air pump to the stop on tire
valve b and clamp it into place.
E Press switch 1 on the electric air
pump to I and pump up the tire until the
recommended tire pressure
(e page 291) is achieved.
E Then press 0 on electric air pump
switch 1.
The electric air pump is switched off.
i The tire sealant is water-soluble. If tire seal-
ant escapes, you can wash it away with water.
E Screw the valve cap onto tire valve b.
After filling with tire sealant (e page 263).
After filling with tire sealant
E Turn the pressure release screw on
pressure gauge 5 counterclockwise
and bleed the system.
E Turn the key to position 0 in the igni-
tion lock.
E Pull the electric air pump connector out
of the 12 V socket.
E Store the electric air pump, tire sealant
bottle 8 with valve core extractor c
and, if used, the warning triangle and
hazard warning lamps inside the vehi-
cle.
E Unscrew and remove angle bracket 2
from valve 7 on tire sealant bottle 8
and screw the valve cap onto the valve.
E Pull away immediately.
This enables the tire sealant to distrib-
ute inside the tire and create a more ef-
fective seal.
E Stop after about 3 minutes and check
the tire pressure using the electric air
pump, for example.
i You must connect the angle bracket on hose
3 of the electric air pump directly to the tire
valve on the tire.
E Correct the tire pressure accordingly if
it does not correspond to the recom-
mended tire pressure (e page 291).
G Warning
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
The "max. 50 mph (80 km/h)" sticker must
be affixed within the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected.
