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

(approx. 80km/h) 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.
10 km (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.
