sure that the switch is in position 0 and take
out the electrical cable and air hose.
2. Remove the valve cover

on removing the valve cover, see (p. 347).
3. 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.
4. Plug the electrical cable into the closest 12
V socket and start the car.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes could result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine running
in sealed areas or areas that lack sufficient
ventilation.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
5. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to
position I .

Risk of overheating. The compressor must not
run for more than 10 minutes.
6. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in
accordance with the tyre pressure table, see
Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 423).
Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.

by pressing one edge
of the cover (the one without the hole) into
place (nearest the tyre), see Emergency
puncture repair - rechecking (p. 348). Then
fold the cover in toward the wheel rim - and
at the same time, gently press down the
angled top edge in order to help it in under
the edge of the wheel rim. Check that the
cover is flush with the surface of the wheel
rim - if not, gently press in the part that is
bulging out.
