The tyre is inflated. Fir st, tyre sealant is pum‐
ped into the tyre. The pressure may brief ly
ri se toappr oximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the ty reinflation compres‐
sor during this phase! #
Let the tyre inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of ten minu tes.
The tyre should then ha veattained a tyre
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clean water.
If yo uge t tyre sealant on your clo thing, ha veit
cleaned as soon as possible with per chloroe thy‐
lene.
If, af terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been
attained: #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tyre.
Please no tethat tyre sealant may leak out when
unscr ewing thefilling hose. #
Drive forw ards or in reve rseve ry slowly for

Pump up the tyre again.
Af ter a maximum of ten minu testh e tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If th e minimum tyre pressure is not reached
af te rth e specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this ins tance.
The braking and driving characteristics may
be great lyimpaired. #
Do not continue driving. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. If, af
terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained: #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tyre. &
WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the maximum speed
limit with a tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant. #
