use SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C, you must use SAE 5W-30(preferred),SAE 5W-40 (except
vehicles with E85 fuel) or SAE 10W-40that meets the specification defined by either
ACEA A1/B1 (preferred) orACEA A3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine
cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased
emission levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended. Capacities

14.
Quickly unscrew the hose Cfrom
the tyre valve and replace the
protective cap A. Fasten the valve
cap again.
15. Leave the sealant bottle Kin the
bottle holder E.
16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and the orange cap are stored safely, but
still easily accessible in the vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tyre pressure.
17. Immediately drive approximately three kilometres (two miles) so that
the sealant can seal the damaged
area.
Note:When pumping in the sealant
through the tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but will drop againafter about 30 seconds. WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behaviour or
noises while driving, reduce your
speed and drive with caution to a place
where it is safe for you to stop the vehicle.
Recheck the tyre and its pressure. If the
tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)
or if there are any cracks, bumps or similar
damage visible, do not continue driving
with this tyre. Checking the tyre pressure
1. Stop the vehicle after driving
approximately three kilometres
(two miles). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tyre.
2. Attach the kit and read the tyre pressure from the pressure gauge F.
3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tyre
is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it to
the specified pressure. See
Technical specifications (page
168). 4. Follow the inflation procedure once
again to top up the tyre.
5. Check the tyre pressure again from the pressure gauge F. If the tyre
pressure is too high, deflate the tyre
to the specified pressure using the
pressure relief valve B.
6. Once you have inflated the tyre to its correct tyre pressure, move the
compressor switch Hto position 0,
remove the power plug Gfrom the
socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten
the valve cap and replace the
protective cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle Kin the bottle
holder Eand store the kit away safely
in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist to get the damaged tyre replaced.
Before the tyre is removed from the
rim, inform your tyre dealer that the
tyre contains sealant. Renew the kit
as soon as possible after it has been
used once.
Note:
Remember that emergency
roadside tyre repair kits only provide temporary mobility. Regulationsconcerning tyre repair after usage of tyrerepair kit may differ from country tocountry. You should consult a tyrespecialist for advice. WARNING
Before driving, make sure the tyre
is adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See
Technical
specifications (page 168). Monitor the
tyre pressure until the sealed tyre is
replaced. Empty sealant bottles can be disposed
of together with normal household waste.
Return remains of sealant to your dealer
or dispose of it in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.
