to the 12 V
socket (12 V, 25 A, 300 watts) on
the center console (

page 186).
\1
Press
I on electric air pump
switch1
.
The electric air pump is switched on.
The tire sealant is then pumped into
the tire and the tire pressure is in-
creased. Allow the electric air pump
to run for at least 10 minutes until
tire sealant bottle
8
is completely
empty and a minimum tire pressure
of 43.5 psi (3.0 bar) is achieved.
\1
Inflate the tire using the electric air
pump until the recommended tire
pressure (
\2
page 361) is achieved.
\1
Then press
0 on electric air pump
switch
1
.
The electric air pump is switched off.
\1
Slide knob

CAUTION
Do not connect the electric air pump
connector to the cigarette lighter
socket or another 12 V socket. These
are not designed for operating the
electric air pump.
!
CAUTION
Do not run the electric air pump for
more than 20 minutes without a
break, otherwise it may overheat.
The air pump can be used again once
it has cooled down.

\1
Pull away immediately.This enables the tire sealant to dis-
tribute inside the tire and create a
more effective seal.
\1
Stop after about 3 minutes and
check the tire pressure using the
electric air pump, for example.
Warning
G
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
The "max. 50 mph (80 km/h)" sticker
must be affixed within the driver's field of
vision.
The vehicle’s handling characteristics
may be affected.

571 Practical hints
Flat tire

\1
Correct the tire pressure accordingly
if it does not correspond to the rec-
ommended tire pressure
(\2
page 361).
Increasing the tire pressure
\1
Switch on the electric air pump.
Reducing the tire pressure
\1
Open the pressure release screw
on pressure gauge
5
.
\1
Drive to the nearest workshop and
have the tire repaired or replaced.
\1
Clean the valve core extractor using
clean water.
\1
Have tire sealant bottle
8
replaced
as soon as possible at an authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
Warning
G
If the minimum tire pressure of 43.5 psi
(3.0 bar) still cannot be achieved, the tire
is too badly damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult an au-
thorized Sprinter Dealer which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you
use an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
