Inflating tyres with
compressor from the
puncture repair kit
The car's original tyres can be inflated using the
compressor in the emergency puncture repair
kit.
1. The compressor must be switched off. Make
sure that the switch is in position 0 (Off), and
take out the electrical cable and the air hose.
2. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap and screw in the
air hose's valve connection to the bottom of
the thread on the tyre's air valve.
Check that the pressure reducing valve on
the air hose is fully screwed in.
3. Connect the electrical cable to the closest
12 V socket and start the car.
4. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to
position I (On).
5. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure label on the driver side door
pillar. Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.
6. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and the electrical cable.
7. Refit the dust cap on the tyre.

WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
IMPORTANT
The compressor must not be operated

heating.
NOTE
• • After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid
damage to the valve from gravel,
dirt, etc.
• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal
dust caps can rust and become diffi-
cult to unscrew.
• The compressor is an electrical device.
Follow local regulations related to
waste management.
