TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated, 
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1 to prevent any repair 
product from escaping and store the 
container in plastic packaging to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
–  Affix the driving recommendation  label to the dashboard where it can 
easily be seen by the driver;
–  Put the kit away.
–  At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the 
tyre. You must drive a short distance 
in order to seal the hole.
–  Start immediately and drive at be- tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and 
60 km/h) in order to distribute the 
product evenly in the tyre and, after 
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and 
check the pressure.
–  If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar  but less than the recommended 
pressure (refer to the label affixed to 
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an 
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be 
repaired.Precautions when using the 
kit
The kit should not be operated for more 
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed 
around the driver’s feet 
as such objects may slide 
under the pedals during 
sudden braking manoeuvres and 
obstruct their use.
1
Please be aware that a 
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the 
tyres less airtight and may 
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to 
those fitted originally and tighten 
them fully.
Following repair with the kit, 
do not travel further than 
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and 
under no circumstances exceed 
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, 
which you must affix in a prominent 
position on the dashboard, reminds 
you of this.
Depending on the country or local 
legislation, a tyre repaired with the 
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
