10. Set the rocker switch on thecompressor to I. The tyre is filled
with sealant.
11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilstthe sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is being
inflated.
13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within ten
minutes.
Tyre pressure 3 250.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within ten minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
ten minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button on the air hose.
Do not run the compressor longer
than ten minutes.
14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw
the filler hose to the free
connection of the sealant bottle.
This prevents sealant from
escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in
load compartment.
15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
16. Continue driving immediately sothat sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
5 km (but no more than ten
minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve when
doing this. Fill tyre as described

value. Otherwise the vehicle must
not be used. Seek assistance of a workshop. 3 250
Repeat the checking procedure
once more after driving further
10 km (but no more than ten
minutes) to check that there is no
more loss of pressure
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.5 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.
