Checking the tyre pressure
1.Stop the vehicle after drivingapproximately three kilometres(two miles). Check, and wherenecessary, adjust the pressure ofthe damaged tyre.
2.Attach the kit and read the tyrepressure from the pressure gaugeF.
3.If the pressure of the sealant-filledtyre is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more,adjust it to the specified pressure.See Technical specifications(page 224).
4.Follow the inflation procedureonce again to top up the tyre.
