Wheels and Tyres
Tyre condition, wheel
condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over
sharp edges can cause tyre and
wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on
the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
We recommend not swapping the
front wheels with the rear wheels
and vice versa, as this can affect
vehicle stability. Always use less
worn tyres on the rear axle.
Winter Tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety
at temperatures below 7 °C and
should therefore be fitted on all
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker
in the driver's field of view.
Tyre Designations
E.g. 195/65 R 15 91 H
195 : Tyre width, mm
65 : Cross-section ratio (tyre height
to tyre width), %
R : Belt type: Radial
RF : Type: RunFlat
15 : Wheel diameter, inches
91 : Load index e.g. 91 is equivalent
to 615 kg
H : Speed code letter
Speed code letter :
Q : Up to 100 mph
S : Up to 112 mph
T : Up to 118 mph
H : Up to 130 mph

4. The switch on the compressormust be set to
9.
5. Screw the compressor air hose to the connection on the
sealant bottle.
6. Connect the compressor plug to the accessory socket (power
socket or cigarette lighter.)
To avoid discharging the
battery, we recommend running
the engine.
7. Fit the sealant bottle into the retainer on the compressor.
Set the compressor near the
tyre in such a way that the
sealant bottle is upright.
8. Unscrew valve cap from
defective tyre.
9. Screw the filler hose to the tyre valve.
10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is
filled with sealant.
11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6
bar whilst the sealant bottle is
emptying (approx. 30 seconds).
Then the pressure starts
to drop.
12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is
inflated.

13. The prescribed tyre pressure(approx. 2.4 bar) should be
obtained within 10 minutes.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure
is not obtained within
10 minutes, remove the tyre
repair kit. Move the vehicle one
tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure
for 10 minutes. If the
prescribed tyre pressure is still
not obtained, the tyre is too
badly damaged. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button over the pressure
indicator.
Do not run the compressor
longer than 10 minutes. 14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Push
catch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket.
Screw tyre inflation hose to
free connection of sealant
bottle. This prevents sealant
from escaping.
Stow tyre repair kit in tailgate.
15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
16. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed
(approx. 50 mph) from the
sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.17. Continue driving immediatelyso that sealant is evenly
distributed in the tyre. After
driving approx. 6 miles (but no
more than 10 minutes), stop
and check tyre pressure.
Screw compressor air hose
directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.
If tyre pressure is more than
1.3 bar, set it to the correct
value (approx.2.4 bar).
Repeat the procedure until
there is no more loss of
pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
18. Stow away tyre repair kit in tailgate.
Note: The driving characteristics of
the repaired tyre is severely
affected, therefore have this tyre
replaced.
