Using the tyre repair kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kitunattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10minutes.
Note:Use the tyre repair kit only forthe vehicle with which it was supplied.
•Park your vehicle at the roadsideso that you do not obstruct theflow of traffic and so that you areable to use the kit without beingin danger.
•Apply the parking brake, even ifyou have parked on a level road,to make sure that the vehicle willnot move.
•Do not attempt to remove foreignobjects like nails or screwspenetrating the tyre.
•Leave the engine running whilethe kit is in use, but not if thevehicle is in an enclosed or poorlyventilated area (for example,inside a building). In thesecircumstances, switch thecompressor on with the engineturned off.
•Replace the sealant bottle with anew one before the expiry date(see top of bottle) is reached.
•Inform all other users of thevehicle that the tyre has beentemporarily sealed with the tyrerepair kit and make them awareof the special driving conditions tobe observed.
Inflating the tyre
WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tyreprior to inflation. If there are anycracks, bumps or similar damage, donot attempt to inflate the tyre.
Do not stand directly beside thetyre while the compressor ispumping.
Watch the sidewall of the tyre.If any cracks, bumps or similardamage appear, turn off thecompressor and let the air out bymeans of the pressure relief valve B.Do not continue driving with this tyre.
The sealant contains naturalrubber latex. Avoid contact withskin and clothing. If this happens,rinse the affected areas immediatelywith plenty of water and contact yourdoctor.

1.Open the lid of the tyre repair kit.
2.Peel off the label I showing themaximum permissible speed of80 km/h (50 mph) from the casingand attach it to the instrumentpanel in the driver’s field of view.Make sure the label does notobscure anything important.
3.Take the hose C and the powerplug with cable G out of the kit.
4.Unscrew the orange cap D andthe bottle lid J.
5.Screw the sealant bottle Kclockwise into the bottle holder Efully tight.
6.Remove the valve cap from thedamaged tyre.
7.Detach the protective cap A fromthe hose C and screw the hoseC firmly onto the valve of thedamaged tyre.
8.Make sure that the compressorswitch H is in position 0.
9.Insert the power plug G into thecigar lighter socket or auxiliarypower socket. See Cigarlighter (page 134). See Auxiliarypower sockets (page 134).
10.Start the engine.
11.Move the compressor switch Hto position 1.
12.Inflate the tyre for no longer thanseven minutes to an inflationpressure of minimum 1.8 bar(26 psi) and a maximum of3.5 bar (51 psi). Move thecompressor switch H to position0 and check the current tyrepressure with pressure gaugeF.
13.Remove the power plug G fromthe cigar lighter socket orauxiliary power socket.
14.Quickly unscrew the hose Cfrom the tyre valve and replacethe protective cap A. Fasten thevalve cap again.
15.Leave the sealant bottle K in thebottle holder E.
16.Make sure the kit, the bottle lidand the orange cap are storedsafely, but still easily accessiblein the vehicle. The kit will berequired again when you checkthe tyre pressure.

Note:When pumping in the sealantthrough the tyre valve, the pressuremay rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but willdrop again after about 30 seconds.
WARNING
If you experience heavyvibrations, unsteady steeringbehaviour or noises while driving,reduce your speed and drive withcaution to a place where it is safe foryou to stop the vehicle. Recheck thetyre and its pressure. If the tyrepressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)or if there are any cracks, bumps orsimilar damage visible, do notcontinue driving with this tyre.
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.
5.Check the tyre pressure againfrom the pressure gauge F. If thetyre pressure is too high, deflatethe tyre to the specified pressureusing the pressure relief valve B.
6.Once you have inflated the tyre toits correct tyre pressure, movethe compressor switch H toposition 0, remove the powerplug G from the socket, unscrewthe hose C, fasten the valve capand replace the protective cap A.
7.Leave the sealant bottle K in thebottle holder E and store the kitaway safely in its original location.
8.Drive to the nearest tyre specialistto get the damaged tyre replaced.Before the tyre is removed fromthe rim, inform your tyre dealerthat the tyre contains sealant.Renew the kit as soon as possibleafter it has been used once.
Note:Remember that emergencyroadside tyre repair kits only providetemporary mobility. Regulationsconcerning tyre repair after usage oftyre repair kit may differ from countryto country. You should consult a tyrespecialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure thetyre is adjusted to therecommended inflation pressure.See Technical specifications(page 224). Monitor the tyre pressureuntil the sealed tyre is replaced.

TYRE CARE
To make sure the front and rear tyresof your vehicle wear evenly and lastlonger, we recommend that youswap the tyres from front to rear andvice versa at regular intervals ofbetween 5 000 and 10 000 km (3000 and 6 000 miles).
CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of thetyres when you are parking.
If you have to mount a kerb, do soslowly and approach it with thewheels at right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts,foreign objects and uneven wear ofthe tread. Uneven wear could meanthat the wheel alignment is outsidespecification.
Check the tyre pressures (includingthe spare) when cold, every twoweeks.
USING WINTER TYRES
CAUTION
Make sure that you use thecorrect wheel nuts for the typeof wheel the winter tyres are fitted to.
If winter tyres are used, make surethat the tyre pressures are correct.See Technical specifications(page 224).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30mph).
Do not use snow chains onsnow-free roads.
Do not fit snow chains to205/50 R 17 or 225/40 R 18tyres.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is fitted with wheeltrims, remove them before fittingsnow chains.
Note:The ABS will continue tooperate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the frontwheels.
