cannot be achieved
, unscrew
the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.
• Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately ten metres so that the sealing compound is more
evenly distributed in the tyre.
• Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the
tyre again.
• If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot
be sealed with the breakdown set. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance

attached to the inside cover of this owner's manual help ensure that you can
have the correct Volkswagen Genuine Parts installed in your vehicle whenever required. The data
also determine which type of service applies to your vehicle.
The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during inflation.
• Protect your hands and skin from the hot components.
• Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot air compressor on any inflammable
materials.
• Allow the device to cool down fully before stowing.
• If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0 bar (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is too damaged.
The sealant is unable to seal the tyre. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance.
WARNING
Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 8 minutes to avoid overheating. Let the
air compressor cool down for a few minutes before switching it back on.
NOTICE
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous as it can cause accidents and serious injuries.
• Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) or lower.
• Seek expert assistance.
