The tire inflation compressor is switched on.
The tire is inflated. Fir st, tire sealant is pum‐

Do not switch off the tire inflation compres‐
sor du ring this phase. #
Let the tire inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of eight minutes.
The tire should then ha veattained a tire
pressure of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
If tire sealant lea ksout, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clear water.
If yo uge t tire sealant on your clo thing, ha veit
cleaned as soon as possible with per chloroe thy‐
lene.
If a ti repressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been attained af ter eight minutes: #
Switch off the tire inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
fa ulty tire.
Please no tethat tire sealant may leak out when

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tire pressure not being reached
If th e specified tire pressure is not reached
af te rth e specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the

DANG ER Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct tire pressure
Every tire, including the spare (if pr ovided),
should be checked when cold at least once a
month and inflated tothe pressure recom‐
mended bytheve hicle manufacturer (see
Ti re and Loading In form ation placard on the
B-pillar on the driver ’sside or the tire pres‐
sure label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
of your vehicle). If your vehicle has tires of a
dif fere nt size than the size indicated on the
Ti re and Loading In form ation placard or the tire pressu
retable, you need todeterm ine
th e proper tire pressure forth ose tires.
As an added saf etyfe ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitor‐
ing sy stem (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator lamp when one or more of
yo ur tires are significantly underinflated.
Ac cording ly, if the low tire pressure indicator
lamp lights up, you should stop and check
yo ur tires as soon as possible, and inflate
th em tothe proper pressure. Driving on a
significant lyunderinflated tire causes the tire
to ov erheat and can lead totire failure.
Un derinflation also increases fuel consump‐
tion and reduces tire tread life, and may
af fect theve hicle's handling and braking abil‐
ity. Please no tethat the TPMS is not a substi‐
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility tomaintain cor rect tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not
re ached the le velto trig ger illumination of
th e TPMS low tire pressure indicator lamp.
Yo ur vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when th
e sy stem is not operating proper ly. The
TPMS malfunction indica tor is combined with
th e low tire pressure indicator lamp. When
th e sy stem de tects a malfunction, the indica‐
to r lamp will flash for appro ximately a minute
and then remain continuously illumina ted.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent
ve hicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
ex ists.
When the malfunction indicator is illumina‐
te d, the sy stem may not be able todetect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variet y of rea‐
sons, including the ins tallation of incompati‐
ble replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on theve hicle that pr eventthe TPMS from
functioning properly.
Alw aysch eck the TPMS malfunction warning
lamp af terre placing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle toensure that the
re placement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS tocontinue tofunction prop‐
erly. Wheels and tires

are AA, A,B and C. Those grades represent the

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‐
su res and regularly check the tire pres‐ sure of all tires including
the spare
wheel. #
Adjust the tire pressure as necessar y. The
temp 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 erature 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‐
