Unwind plug : with the cable from the
tyre inflation compressor ;.
X
Remove hose A from the bottom section
of tyre
inflation compressor housing ;.
X
Remove cap on tyre sealant bottle ? and
connect hose
A.
X
Remove the cap from valve E on the
faulty tyre.
X
Remove cap on filler hose = and screw
filler hose = onto the valve.
X
Insert plug : into
the socket of the cig-
arette lighter (Y page 211) or into the 12 V
power socket in your vehicle (Y page 212).
X
Turn the key to position 1 in
the ignition
lock (Y page 121).
X
Press on/off switch B on tyre inflation
compressor ; to I.
The tyre inflation compressor is
switched on. The tyre is inflated.
i
First, tyre sealant is pumped into the
tyre. The pressure can briefly rise to
approximately
600 kPa
(6.0 bar/86 psi).
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. The tyre should
then have attained a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
is achieved after a maximum of 15 minutes,
see "Tyre pressure is achieved"
(Y page 231).
If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26
psi)
has not been achieved after a maximum of
15 minutes, see "Tyre pressure is not ach-
ieved" (Y page 231).
i
If the tyre sealant leaks out, allow it to
dry. It can then be removed like a layer of
film.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing,
have it cleaned as soon as possible with
perchloroethylene.
Tyre pressure not reached
If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26
psi)
has not been achieved after a maximum of
10 minutes:
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the defective tyre.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 10 m.
X
Pump up the tyre again.
After a maximum of 10 minutes, the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi).
G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too
badly damaged. The tyre sealant cannot
repair the tyre in this instance. Damaged
tyres
and
a tyre pressure that is too low can
significantly impair the vehicle's braking
and driving characteristics. There is a
risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop.

G
WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the
driving characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. There is a
risk of accident.
