12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
• It should not take longer than seven
minutes to inflate the tyre. If after seven
minutes the tyre ha s not reached the
minimum pressure, the tyre should not
be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated switch off
the compressor. If desired the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (anti-clockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap,
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the
receiver.
18. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including
the bottle, and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to
use the kit to check the tyre pressure after
3km (2 miles) so ensure they are easily
accessible.
19. Immediately drive the vehicle for 3 km (2
miles) to allow the sealant to coat the inner
surface of the tyre and form a seal at the
puncture.
†When pumping the sealant through the tyre
valve, the pressure may rise up to 6 bar (87
lb/in²). The pressure will drop again after
approximately 30 seconds.
Checking the tyre pressure after a repair
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyres condition.
2. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose.
3. Screw the inflation hos e connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 lb/in²) adjust the
pressure to the correct value. See
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (page 194).
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off position ( O), and insert the power
cable connector into an auxiliary power
socket. See AUXILIARY POWER
SOCKETS (page 110).
7. If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
8. Switch on the compressor ( I), and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
WARNINGS
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibr ations, abnormal
steering, or noises, re duce speed immediately.
Drive with extreme caution and reduced speed
to the first safe place to stop the vehicle.
Visually examine the tyre, and check it's
pressure. If there are any signs of damage or
deformity to the tyre, or the tyre pressure is
below 1.3 bar (19 lb/i n²) do not continue
driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre, or your
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised repairer
for advice concerning the replacement of a
tyre after using a tyre repair kit.

9. To check the tyre pressure turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.
10. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
relief valve.
11. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
12. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
13. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the
receiver.
14. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including
the bottle, and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle.
15. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre, or
Land Rover Dealer/Autho rised repairer for
a replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
16. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant
bottle should be replac ed once a new tyre
has been fitted.
Only sealant bottles which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal household
waste. Sealant bottles which contain some
sealant, and the tyre in flation hose, should be
disposed of by a tyre specialist, or your Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised repairer in
compliance with local waste disposal
regulations.USING SNOW CHAINS
Land Rover approved trac tion devices may be
used to improve traction on a hard road surface
in heavy snow conditions . They should not be
used in off-road conditions.
If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices,
the following points should be observed:-
• Single sided Spike-spyder traction devices
can only be fitted to the front wheels of
vehicles fitted with 17 or 18 inch diameter
wheels.
• The wheels and tyres fitted must
conform to the specifications of the
original equipment.
• No traction devices should be fitted to the
rear wheels.
• Only Land Rover approved traction devices
should be used on the vehicle. Only Land
Rover approved tracti on devices have been
tested to ensure that they do not cause
damage to the vehicl e. Contact your Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised repairer for
information.
• Always read, understa nd, and follow the
snow chain manufacturer's instructions.
Pay particular attention to the maximum
speed, and fitti ng instructions.
WARNING
Only use traction devices in heavy snow
conditions, on hard road surfaces.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must be
switched off when using traction devices. DSC
limits wheel spin which is required to maintain
traction in deep snow conditions.
Never exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) when traction
devices are fitted.
Never fit traction devices to a temporary use
spare wheel.
