320 Maintenance and care

Ifyo u come into contact withth e tire sealant,
obser vethefo llowing:
#Rinse off the tire sealant from your skin
immediately using water.
#If tire sealant gets into your eyes, thor‐
oughly rinse out theey es using clean
wate r.
#If tire sealant has been swallowe d,
immediately rinse out the mouth thor‐
oughly and drink plenty of water.Do not
induce vomiting and seek medical
attention immediately.
#Change out of any clo thes conta mina‐
te d with tire sealant immediatel y.
#If allergicreactions occur, seek medical
attention immediatel y.
*NO
TEOverheating due tothe tire infla‐
tion compressor running too long
#Do not runth e tire inflation compressor
fo r longer than ten minu tes without
inter ruption.
Comply with the manufacturer's saf etyno tes on
th est icke r on the tire inflation compressor.
Ha ve the tire sealant bottle replaced everyfour
ye ars at a qualified specialist workshop.
#Do not remo veany fore ign objects which

vision.
#Af fix pa rt2 ofthe TIREFIT sticke r near the
va lve on the wheel with the defective tire.
#Pull plug 4with the cable and hose 5out
of the tire inflation compressor housing.
#Push the plug of hose 5into flange 6of

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics.
#Av oid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Tire pressure which is too low can cause:
RTire defects as a result of overheating.
RImpaired handling characteristics
RIrre gular wear
RIncreased fuel consum ption
&
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can
burs t because they are damaged more easily
by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics.
#Av oid excessively high tire pressures in

DANG ER Risk of accident due toinade‐
qu ate traction
The traction grade assigned tothis tire is
based on stra ight-ahead braking traction
te sts, and does not include either accelera‐

ch aracteristics.

#Av oid wheelspin.
The traction grades – from highest tolowest –
are AA, A,B and C. Those grades represent the
tire's ability tostop on wet pa vement as meas‐
ured under controlled conditions on specified
go vernment test sur faces made of asphalt and
concr ete.
Te mp erature grade
&
WARNING Risk of accident from tire
ove rheating and tire failure
The temp erature grade forth is tire is es tab‐
lished for a tire that is proper ly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐
tion, or excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause excessive heat
build-up and possible tire failure.
#Obser vethere commended tire pres‐
sure s and regularly check the tire pres‐
sure of all tires including the spare
wheel.
#Ad just the tire pressure as necessar y.
Thetemp erature grades are A (the highest), B
and C. They represent the tire's resis tance tothe
ge neration of heat and its ability todissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus‐
ta ined high temp eratures can cause the material
of the tire todegenerate and reduce tire life, and
exc essive temp erature can lead tosudden tire
fa ilure. Grade C cor responds toa le vel of per‐
fo rm ance which all passenger car tires must
