You should therefore adapt your driving
style accordingly and drive carefully. Do
not exceed the specified maximum speed
with a tyre that has been repaired using
tyre sealant.
The maximum speed for a tyre sealed with
tyre sealant is 80 km/h. The
80 km/h maxi-
mum speed sticker must be affixed to the
instrument cluster within the driver's
field of vision.
!
After use, excess tyre sealant may run
out of the filler hose. This could cause
stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT
kit.
H
Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed
of professionally, e.g. at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
If
a
tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been achieved after 10 minutes:
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the defective tyre.
X
Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre
inflation compressor and the warning
triangle.
X
Pull away immediately.
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).
G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after
driving
for a short period, 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.
X
Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at
least 130 kPa
(1.3 bar/19 psi). For values,
see the tyre pressure information label
on the driver's side B-pillar.
X
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the tyre inflation compressor.
X
To reduce the tyre pressure: depress
pressure
release
button : next to pres-
sure gauge ;.
X
If the tyre pressure is correct, unscrew
the filler hose from the valve of the
sealed tyre.
X
Screw the valve cap onto the valve of the
sealed tyre.
X
Drive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tyre changed
there.
X
Have the tyre sealant bottle and the
filler hose replaced as soon as possible
at a qualified specialist workshop.
X
Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced
every four years at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
