CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURE
AFTER A REPAIR
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibrations, abnormal
steering, or noises, reduce speed
immediately. Drive with extreme
caution at reduced speed, to the
first safe place to stop the vehicle.
Visually examine the tyre and
check its pressure. If there are any
signs of damage or deformity to
the tyre, or the tyre pressure is
below 1.3 bar (19 psi, 130 kPa),
do not continue driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre or a
Retailer/Authorised Repairer, for
advice concerning the
replacement of a tyre after using
a tyre repair kit.
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km, then stop
in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyre’s condition.
2. Make sure that the sealant container
is in its original position.
3. Screw the inflation hose connector
firmly onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the
gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre
is above 1.3 bar (19 psi, 130 kPa),
adjust the pressure to the correct
value. If there are signs of damage or
deformity to the tyre, or the tyre
pressure is below 1.3 bar, do not
continue driving.
6. Make sure that the compressor switch
is in the Off (O) position and insert the
power cable connector into the
auxiliary power socket. If the vehicle is
in a well ventilated area, start the
engine.
7. Switch the compressor to On (I) and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure.
See 237, TYRE PRESSURES.
8. To check the tyre pressure, switch off
the compressor and then read the
pressure from the gauge.
9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the
required amount of pressure using the
pressure release valve.
10.Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor
and remove the power plug from the
auxiliary socket.
Note: The use of the tyre repair kit
sealant may lead to error prompts and
incorrect readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). Therefore,
use the tyre repair kit pressure gauge
to check and adjust the damaged
tyre's inflation pressure.
11.Unscrew the inflation hose connector
from the tyre valve, replace the tyre
valve cap and the inflation hose
connector protective cap.
12.Make sure that the tyre repair kit is
stowed securely in the vehicle.
13.Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre
or Retailer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Make
sure that you make the repair centre
aware that the tyre repair kit has been
used, before the tyre is removed.
14.The tyre inflation hose, the receiver,
and the sealant bottle must be
replaced once a new tyre has been
fitted.
