not be driven. Seek theassistance of a workshop.
20. Stow tyre repair kit under the front
seat.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least
30 minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of 7 bar (102 psi).
Note the expiry date of the kit. After

Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C.
The adapters supplied can be used
to pump up other items e.g.
footballs, air mattresses, inflatabledinghies etc. They are located on the underside of the compressor. To
remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter.
Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 154.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-slippery surface. The frontwheels must be in the straight-ahead position.
■ Apply the parking brake and engage first gear or reverse gear.
■ Switch off the air suspension system 3 110.
■ Remove the spare wheel 3 159.
■ Never change more than one wheel
at a time.
■ Use the jack only to change wheels
in case of puncture, not for
seasonal winter or summer tyre
change.■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed
under the jack.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the engine when the vehicle is raised on the jack.
■ Clean wheel bolts/nuts and their threads before mounting the wheel.9 Warning
