Repair kit hoseH
Pressure relief valveI
1. Remove the kit from the wrapping.
2. Peel off the label A showing the
maximum permissible speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) from the sealant
bottle and attach it to the instrument
panel in the driver’s field of view. Make
sure the label does not obscure
anything important.
3. Take the hose H with the pressure relief
valve I and the power plug with cable
F out of the kit.
4. Connect the hose H with the pressure
relief valve I to the sealant bottle B.
5. Engage the sealant bottle B into the
bottle holder D.
6. Remove the valve cap from the
damaged tire.
7. Screw the sealant bottle hose C firmly
onto the valve of the damaged tire.
8. Make sure that the compressor switch
G is in position 0.
9. Insert the power plug F into the cigar
lighter socket or auxiliary power socket.
See Auxiliary Power Points (page
88). See Cigar Lighter (page 88).
10. Start the engine.
11. Move the compressor switch G to
position 1.
12. Inflate the tire for no longer than 10
minutes to an inflation pressure of
minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) and a
maximum of 51 psi (3.5 bar). Move
the compressor switch G to position
0 and check the current tire pressure
with pressure gauge E.
Note: If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is
not reached do not continue.
Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to
87 psi (6 bar) but will drop again after about
30 seconds.
Note: After you have switched the
compressor off, you may hear air escaping
from the damaged tire. This is normal and
can be ignored provided that the specified
minimum tire pressure has been reached.
13. Remove the power plug F from the
cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power
socket.
14. Quickly unscrew the hose C from the
tire valve. Fasten the valve cap again.
Note: Some residual sealant fluid may drip
or spray out of hose C while you are
disconnecting it. This is normal.
15. Leave the sealant bottle B in the
bottle holder D.
16. Make sure the kit is stored safely, but
still easily accessible in your vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tire pressure.
17. Immediately drive approximately
two miles (three kilometers) so that
the sealant can seal the damaged
area.
WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behaviour or
noises while driving, reduce your
speed and drive with caution to a place
where it is safe for you to stop your vehicle.
Recheck the tire and its pressure. If the tire
pressure is less than 14.7 psi (1 bar) or if
there are any cracks, bumps or similar
damage visible, do not continue driving
with this tire.
18. Stop your vehicle after driving
approximately two miles (three
kilometers). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tire.
