tyre pressure with the button on
the air hose. If tyre pressure hasn't
decreased under 29 psi, set it to the
correct value. Otherwise the vehicle
must not be used. Seek assistance
of a workshop. Repeat the checking
procedure once more after driving a
further 6 miles but no more than 10
minutes, to check that there is no
more loss of pressure. If the tyre
pressure has fallen below 29 psi, the
vehicle must not be used. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
18. Stow the tyre repair kit in its
designated position.
Note
The driving characteristics of the repaired
tyre are severely affected, therefore have
this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn the
compressor off for at least 30 min.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of 102 psi.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After this
date its sealing capability is no longer
guaranteed. Pay attention to the storage
information on the sealant bottle.
Replace the used sealant bottle.
Dispose of the bottle as prescribed by
applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used
from approx. -30 °C.
Checking/Adjusting Tyre
Pressures
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any long
journey. Do not forget the spare wheel.
This also applies to vehicles with tyre
deflation detection system.
The tyre pressure information label on
the left B-pillar indicates the original
equipment tyres and the correspondent
tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations ð
page 167.
For the tyres approved for your vehicle,
refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity
provided with your vehicle or other
national registration documents.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, identify the respective
tyre in the tyre pressure table ð
page
167 or on the tyre pressure information
label as described before.
Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-up
and internal damage, leading to tread
separation and even to tyre blow-out at
high speeds.
