Further procedure if the pressure of
the sealed tyre is below 180 kPa
G
WARNING
If the specified tyre pressure still cannot
be reached, the tyre is too badly dam-
aged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres and
low tyre pressures can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving
characteristics. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Do not drive any further. Contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the defective tyre.
Please note that tyre sealant may escape
when unscrewing.
X
Slowly move the vehicle approximately
10 m forwards or backwards.
X
Pump up the tyre again.
After a maximum of 15 minutes, the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
Further procedure if the pressure of
the sealed tyre is at least 180 kPa
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the hose from the valve of the
defective tyre.
Please note that tyre sealant may escape
when unscrewing.
X
Stow the tyre sealant bottle and the tyre
inflation compressor.
X
Perform a test drive.
The maximum permissible speed for a
tyre sealed with tyre sealant is 80 km/h.
X
Stop after driving for approximately 3 km
and check the tyre pressure with the tyre
inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). The precise val-
ues are located on the door pillar (B-pil-
lar) on the driver's side.
X
If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve on
the sealed tyre.
Please note that tyre sealant may escape
when unscrewing.
X
Screw the valve cap onto the valve of the
sealed tyre.
X
Pull the tyre sealant bottle out of the tyre
inflation compressor. The filler hose
stays on the tyre sealant bottle.
X
Drive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tyre changed
there.
X
Have the tyre sealant bottle and filler
hose replaced as soon as possible at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Adjusting the tyre pressure
Increasing the tyre pressure
X
Switch on the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Observe the display.
Reducing the tyre pressure
X
Press button : next to pressure
gauge ;.
i
Even unused tyre sealant loses its
effectiveness over time.
Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced
every four years at a qualified specialist
workshop.
