If you cannot reach an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, unscrew the tyre inflation
hose

Drive the vehicle 10 metres forwards or backwards to allow the sealing agent to
“distribute” in the tyre.
›
Firmly screw the tyre inflation hose

back onto the tyre valve and repeat the
inflation process.

If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means
the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the
breakdown kit

WARNING
■
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot- risk
of injury!
■
Do not place the hot tyre inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable
materials – risk of fire!
■
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage sus-
tained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.
Do not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance!
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor after running 8 minutes at the latest – danger of
overheating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few minutes before switching it
on again.
Ð
Check after driving for 10 minutes
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 132.
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes!
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:
›
Do not drive the vehicle!
You cannot properly seal with tyre with the break-
down kit.
›
Get professional assistance.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:
›
Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler
cap).
›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest ŠKODA specialist garage at a maxi-
mum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

Jump-starting

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Jump-starting
135
Jump-starting in vehicles with the START-STOP system
136
The battery of another vehicle can be used to jump-start your vehicle if the en-
gine will not start because the battery is flat. Jump-start cables are required for
this purpose.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The
capacity
(Ah) of the battery
supplying the power must not be significantly less than the capacity of the dis-
charged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section and in-
sulated terminal clamps. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Positive cable
– colour coding in the majority of cases is red.
Negative cable
– colour coding in the majority of cases is black.
