\1
Try to park the vehicle in such a way
that the tire puncture is close to the
ground. If the tire puncture cannot
be seen, park the vehicle in such a
way that the tire valve of the flat tire
is in horizontal alignment with the ax-
le.
\1
It is beneficial to the sealing process
if you remove the foreign body that
has pierced the tire, for example the
screw or nail.
\1
Remove the Premium tire sealant,
the accompanying "max. 50 mph
(80 km/h)" sticker and the electric
air pump from the storage compart-
ment in the right-hand doorway
(\2
page 521).
\1
Affix the sticker within the driver’s
field of vision.
!
CAUTION
Only connect the electric air pump to
the 12 V socket (
\2
page 297) on the
center console (12 V, 25 A,
300 watts). You could otherwise
damage the vehicle electrical sys-
tem.

is completely
empty and a minimum tire pressure
of 43.5 psi (3.0 bar) is achieved.

\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

.
\1
Drive to the nearest workshop and
have the tire repaired or replaced.

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
