If th e specified tyre pressure is not achie ved
af te r a brief drive, the tyre is too badly dam‐
aged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the tyre

Use a suitable pressu regauge tocheck the tyre

not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys‐

Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
A rise in the tyre temp erature of 10°C increases
th e tyre pressure byappr ox.10 kPa (0.1 bar/ 1.

th e tyre pressure of warm tyres.
