x Start the electric motor and let it run.
x Insert the cable plug ⇒ fig. 177 (9) into a 12 Volt socket of the vehicle
x Switch the air compressor on using the ON /OFF switch ⇒ fig. 177 (8),
x Let the air compressor run until a pressure of 29 – 36 psi (200 – 250 kPa) is reached ⇒ . Max-
imum run time 8 minutes ⇒ .
x Switch off the air compressor.
x If an air pressure of 29 – 36 psi (200 – 250 kPa) cannot be reached, unscrew the tire inflation hose from the tire valve.
x Drive about 30 feet (10 meters) backwards or forwards so that the sealant can be distributed inside the tire.
x Connect the tire inflation hose of the air compressor again to the tire valve and repeat the inflation process.
x If the required tire pressure still cannot be reached, the tire is too badly damaged. The tire cannot be sealed using the tire mobility set. Do not drive the vehicle. Contact an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or Volkswagen service facility for assistance ⇒ .
x Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tire inflation hose from the tire valve.
x If a tire pressure of 29 – 36 psi (200 – 250 kPa) is reached, continue driving right away and drive at a speed of no more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
x Check tire pressure after 10 minutes of driving
WARNING
The tire inflation hose and air compressor can get hot during inflation.
x Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
x Do not place the hot tire inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable material.
x Let the equipment cool off almost completely before stowing it.
x If the tire cannot be inflated to at least 36 psi (250 kPa), the damage is too great to be re-paired with the tire mobility set. The sealant is not able to seal the tire. Do not drive the vehi-cle. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen service facility for assistance.
NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for more than 8 minutes to help prevent overheating and dam-age. Let the compressor cool down for a few minutes before switching it on again. Let it cool down almost completely before stowing it in the repair kit.
Check after 10 minutes of driving
20 psi (140 kPa) and more:
x Correct the tire pressure again to the proper value
x Carefully drive on to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen service facility at a speed of not more than 50 mph (80 km/h) or call an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen service facility .
WARNING
Driving with a tire that cannot be sealed is dangerous and can cause accidents and serious injuries.
x Do not continue driving if the tire pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa) or less.
x Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen service facility for assistance.
