lower end for a valve insert. The valve insert
can only be screwed or unscrewed in this
way. This also applies to its replacement part 11 .
Sealing and inflating a tyre Sealing a tyre
● Unscrew the tyre valve cap.
● Use the corresponding enclosed extractor
››› Fig. 132 1 to unscrew the tyre valve in-
sert. Place the valve insert on a clean surface.
● Vigorously shake the sealant bottle
››› Fig. 132 10 for several seconds.
● Screw the inflator tube ›››

11 direction. The seal on the mouth of the bottle
moves automatically.
●
Remove the lid from the filling tube
››› Fig. 132 3 and screw the open end of the
tube into the tyre valve.
● Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and
fill the complete contents of the can into the
ty r
e.
● Remove the tyre sealant bottle from the
valve.
● Screw the valve insert again with the corre-
sponding enclosed extractor ››› Fig. 132 1 into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
●
Securely screw the tyre inflator tube
››› Fig. 132 5 of the compressor into the tyre
valve.
● Check whether the air bleed screw
››› Fig. 132 7 is closed.
● Start the vehicle engine and leave it run-
ning.
● Attach the connector ››› Fig. 132 9 to a 12
volt socket of the vehicle ››› page 72.
● Connect the air compressor with the
ON/OFF switch ››› Fig. 132 8 .●
Keep the air compressor running until it
reaches 2.0 to 2.5 bar (29-36 psi /
200-250 kPa) ››› .
Maximum operation time
8 minut e

s ››› .
● Disconnect the air compressor.
● If it is not possible to achieve an air pres-
sure of 2.0 to 2.5 bar (29-36 psi /
200-250 kPa), unscrew the tyre inflator tube
from the tyre valve.
● Move the vehicle some 10 metres forward
or backward so that the sealant is evenly dis-
tributed in the tyre interior.
● Securely screw the compressor tyre inflator
tube into the tyre valve and repeat the infla-
tion process.
● If the indicated pressure can still not be
reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The
tyre cannot be sealed with the anti-puncture
kit. Do not continue driving. You should ob-
tain professional assistance ››› .
● Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew
the flexible inflator tube from the tyre valve.
● When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, immediately continue driving with-
out exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
● After 10 minutes
, Check the pressure again

Advice
CAUTION
To avoid considerable damage to the vehicle
electrical system, note the following careful-
ly: ● If the jump leads are incorrectly connected,
this could result in a short circuit.
● The vehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected. How to jump start: description
Fig. 133
Diagram of connections for vehicles
without Start-Stop system. Fig. 134
Diagram of connections for vehicles
with Start-Stop system. Jump lead terminal connections
1. Switch off the ignition of both vehicles
››› .
2. Connect one end of the red jump lead to
the po s
itive + terminal of the vehicle
with the flat battery A
››› Fig. 133 .
3. C

onnect the other end of the red
jump
lead to the positive terminal + in the ve-
hicle providing assistance B .
4. For vehicles without Start-Stop system:
connect one end of the black jump lead to
the negative terminal – of the vehicle
providing the current B
››› Fig. 133 .
– For

vehicles with Start-Stop system: con-
nect one end of the black jump lead X to a
suitable ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine
block itself ››› Fig. 134 . 5.
C
onnect the other end of the
black jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
to the engine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boosting battery and let it run at idling
speed.
8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery and wait 2 or 3 minutes until the
engine is “running”.
Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dipped beam headlights (if they
are switched on).
10. Turn on the heater blower and heated rear
w indo

w in the vehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11.When the engine is running, disconnect the leads in reverse order to the details
given above.
