be sealed using the tire mobility set. Do not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance ⇒ .
x Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tire inflation hose from the tire valve.
x If a tire pressure of 36 – 44 psi (250 – 300 kPa) is reached, continue driving right away and drive at a speed of not more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
