10. Switch the On/Off switch (
➇) to
the "I"-position.
Please note: When the sealing compound is added through the
tire valve the pressure gauge
could increase from approxi-
mately 4-6 bar (60-90 psi), but itwill drop again after about 30
seconds. 11. Inflate the tire to at least 1.8 bar
(26 psi) and at most 3.5 bar (51
psi) within 7 minutes. Switch off
the compressor briefly by press-
ing "O" so as to be able to readthe actual tire inflation pressure
on the gauge.
CAUTION
During the tire inflation opera-
tion do not stand next to thedamaged tire. Check the side-wall of the tire for unusual bulges or deformations.Discontinue the inflation opera-tion and deflate the tire by using the pressure release (
➉), if any
unusual appearance is noticed.
CAUTION
If a tire inflation pressure of 1.8 bar (26 psi) is not achievablewithin 7 minutes, the tire is tooseverely damaged and you must not drive on the tire. Call forroad side service or towing.

12. If a tire inflation pressure of 1.8bar (26 psi) is reached, turn the
on / off switch to the "0" position,
quickly unscrew the hose from
the tire. Unplug the cable from
the cigarette lighter. Do not
unscrew the bottle. Stow theTireMobilityKit, the bottle cap and
the bottle holder cap safely in the
vehicle in an easily accessible
place, as it will be needed again
to check tire pressure.
13. Drive immediately and cautiously for about 3 km / 2 miles so thatthe sealing compound can seal
the puncture. Do not exceed 80
km/h / 50 mph. If while driving,
you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and
drive with caution until you can
safely pull off of the side of the
road. Call for road side service or
towing. 2nd Stage: Check tire pressure
14. Stop after driving for about 3 km
/ 2 miles and check the pressure
of the punctured tire as follows:
a) Ensure that the On/Off-switch (➇ ) of the compressor is in the
"O"-position.
b) Screw the hose onto the valve of the punctured tire.
c) Plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter (12 volt socket).
d) Read the inflation pressure on the gauge of the TireMobilityKit.CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is below
1.3 bar (19 psi), do not continueto drive. Call for road side serv- ice or towing.

15. If the inflation pressure is 1.3 bar
(19 psi) or more, turn the on/off
switch to the "I"-position andadjust the inflation pressure tothe recommended inflation pres-
sure (see service manual of the
vehicle). Reduce any excessive
pressure by using the pressure
release valve ( ➉).
16. Turn kit off by pressing "O". Unscrew the hose from the tire
valve and unplug the electric plug
from the socket. 17. Do not unscrew the bottle. Stow
the TireMobilityKit safely in the
vehicle. 18. Drive to the next vehicle or tire
dealer to replace the tire.
✽✽NOTICE
After a long period without driving,
the inflation pressure must be
checked before driving.
19. After using the TireMobilityKit to seal your tire, replace the hose, the sealing compound and con-
nected parts. See last page of
this manual. When replacing the
damaged tire inform the tiremechanic that a sealing com-
pound was used before the tire isdemounted!
CAUTION
After the sealing compound has
been used, the max. permissiblespeed is 80 km/h / 50 mph andthe damaged tire is to be replaced promptly, at least with-in a distance of 200 km / 120miles. If while driving, you expe- rience any unusual vibration,ride disturbance or noise,reduce your speed and drive with caution until you can sefelypull off of the side of the road.Call for road side service or tow- ing.

3rd stage: What to do when
checking the tire inflationpressure
1. Open the lid from theTireMobilityKit.
2. Remove the hose ( ➁) and the
electric lead ( ➂).
3. Unscrew the valve cap from the defective tire. 4. Screw the hose (
➆) tightly onto
the tire valve.
5. Now you can read off the tire pres- sure. If it needs to be increased,
move on to Point 6.
6. Make sure that the On/Off switch (➇ ) is in the "O"-position.
7. Place the electric plug ( ➈) into the
socket of the cigarette lighter (12
volt connection, see service man-ual of the car).
8. Start the engine (only if the car is outdoors.) 9. Switch the On/Off switch (
➇) to
the "I"-position and inflate the tireto the recommended inflation
pressure.
10. Switch off the TireMobilityKit and check the tire pressure again.
11. After you have inflated the tire, unscrew the hose, unplug the
electric plug and stow the
TireMobilityKit safely in your
vehicle.
