Press on/off switch B
on tyre inflation
compressor ; to position 1.
The tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 600 kPa (6.0 bar, 86 psi
).
i
Preventing damage to the tyre inflation
compressor
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
maximum of
15 minutes, then allow it to cool
down.
The tyre pressure must be at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar, 26 psi).
Allow any leaking tyre sealant to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
Have any clothing stained with tyre sealant
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
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 damaged.
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 character-
istics. There is a risk of an accident.
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.
X
Slow 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.
X
Stow the tyre sealant bottle and the tyre
inflation compressor.
X
Carry out 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 values
are located on the door pillar (B-pillar) on
the driver's side.
X
If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve on
the sealed tyre.
X
Screw the valve cap onto the valve of the
sealed tyre.
