Tyre pressure not reached
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
not been achieved after five minutes:
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 10 m.
X
Pump up the tyre again.
After a maximum of five minutes the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi).
G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres and a tyre
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
Tyre pressure reached
G
WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tyre that
has been repaired using tyre sealant.
! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
H
Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at a qualified specialist
workshop.
If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after five minutes:
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X
Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre infla-
tion compressor and the warning triangle.
X
Pull away immediately.
The maximum speed for a tyre sealed with
tyre sealant is 80 km/h. The upper part of
the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the
instrument cluster in the driver's field of
vision.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tyre is too
badly damaged. The tyre sealant cannot
repair the tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres
and a tyre pressure that is too low can signif-
icantly impair the vehicle's braking and driv-
ing characteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
X Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi) (see the fuel filler
flap for values).
X
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the tyre inflation compressor.
