Vehicle care
4. Connect the compressor plug to
the power outlet or cigarette
lighter socket.
The tyre repair kit may only be
plugged in to the front 12 V power
outlet, in order to work properly.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
5. Set the rocker switch on the
compressor to I. The tyre is filled
with sealant.
6. The compressor pressure gauge
briefly indicates up to
600 kPa (6 bar) whilst the sealant
cartridge is emptying (approx.
30 s). Then the pressure starts to
drop.
7. All of the sealant is pumped into
the tyre. Then the tyre is being
inflated.
8. The prescribed tyre pressure
should be obtained within
10 minutes.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle forwards by about
10 m to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly. Reattach
the tyre repair kit and continue the
filling procedure for 10 minutes. If
the prescribed tyre pressure is still
not obtained, the tyre is too badly
damaged. Seek the assistance of
a workshop.
Do not run the compressor longer
than 10 minutes.
9. Detach the tyre repair kit. Store
the tyre repair kit back in the
storage compartment of the door.
10. Remove any excess sealant
using a cloth.
11. Continue driving immediately so
that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx. 3
miles but no more than
10 minutes, stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve when
doing this. Fill tyre as described
before. Drain excess tyre
pressure with the button on the air
hose.
If tyre pressure hasn't decreased
under 150 kPa (1.5 bar), set it to
the correct value. Otherwise the
vehicle must not be used. Seek
assistance of a workshop.
Repeat the checking procedure
once more after driving further
6 miles but no more than
10 minutes to check that there is
no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 150 kPa (1.5 bar), the
vehicle must not be used. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre are severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30 min.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of seven bar (102 psi).
