X
Insert plug = into the socket of the ciga-
rette lighter (
Y
page 268) or into a 12 V
power socket in your vehicle (
Y
page 269).
X
Turn the key to position 1 (
Y
page 141) in
the ignition lock.
X
Press on/off switch ? on the tyre inflation
compressor to ON.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched
on. The tyre is inflated.
i
First, tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
maximum of ten minutes. The tyre should
then have attained a pressure of at least
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If a tyre pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
has been achieved after ten minutes
(
Y
page 299).
If a tyre pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
has not been achieved after ten minutes
(
Y
page 299).
i If the tyre sealant leaks out, allow it to dry.
It can then be removed like a layer of film.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing,
have it cleaned as soon as possible with
perchloroethylene.
Tyre pressure not reached
If a tyre pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
has not been achieved after ten 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 ten minutes, the tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 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 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
has been achieved after ten 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
Flat tyre
