Switch the tire inflation compressor off
briefly to read the correct value from pres- sure gauge 0084.
! Do not operate the tire inflation compres-
sor for longe rthan ten minute satatime
without abreak. It may otherwise overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has coole ddown.
Tire pressure of at leas t180 kPa
(1.8 bar/2 6psi) is not reached If, after five minutes,
apressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi )has not bee nachieved: X

X Pump up the tire again. G
WARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and atire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
