262If and when
pressure is still lower than the specification the tyre is too badly
damaged and cannot be repaired using the tyre sealant.
Final check
– After about 10 minutes, stop to check the tyre pressure.
– If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is too badly dam-
aged. Do not drive on! You should obtain professional assis-
tance.
WARNING
● If you have a puncture in heavy traffic, switch on the hazard warning
lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location. This is for your
own safety and also warns other road users.
● Make sure your passengers wait in a safe place (for instance behind
the roadside crash barrier).
● Please observe the manufacturer's safety notes on the compressor
and the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
● If it is not possible to build up a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar within 6 mi-
nutes this means that the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on!
● Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not
possible with the sealing product.
● If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar after driving about 10 minutes,
the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on! Obtain technical assis-
tance.
CAUTION
Take special care if you have to repair a tyre on a slope.
Note
● Do not use the compressor for longer than 6 minutes. Otherwise, it
might overheat. When the compressor has cooled down, you can use it
again.
● If tyre sealant should leak out, leave it to dry and then pull it off like foil.
● After carrying out a tyre repair remember to buy a new tyre sealant can at
a specialised workshop. This will ensure that the Tyre Mobility System is op-
erative again.
● Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
