pair kit is possible or not
¢ page 271.
.. Let all of the passengers ex it th e vehicle
and move a safe distance away ¢& .
.. Take the
sealant bottle and the compre ssor
out of the luggage compartment
¢ page 104, fig. 112.
.. Affix the label "max. 50 mph (80 km/h)",
found on the sealant bottle, to the instru­
ment cluster where it can be seen by the
dr iver .
Fill ing a tire
.. Shake the bottle thoroughly before f il li ng.
.. Screw the accompanying filling hose com-
pletely onto the bottle. This breaks through
the foi l seal automatically at the connec ­
t ion.
.. Remove the valve cap from the tire va lve and
uns crew the valve inse rt using the accompa­
nying valve insert too l¢
fig . 217.
.. Lay the valve insert on a clean s urface .
.. Remove the sealing p lug from the filling
hose and connect the hose to the tire va lve .
.. Hold the bottle with the bottom fac ing up­
ward and empty the entire contents into the
tire.
.. Then pu ll out the hose and screw the valve
i nsert tightly back into the tire valve .
Inflating a tire
.. Screw the fill ing hose for the compressor
onto the tire valve and insert the connector
into the cigarette lighter .
.. Inflate the tire to between 29 PSI (200 kPA)
and 36 PSI (250 kPA) and read the pressure
on the gauge .
.. If this tire pressure is not reached, dr ive
your veh icle approximately 33 ft ( 10 meters)
forward or backward so that the sealant can be red istr ibuted inside the tire.
If at this
time the requi red a ir pressure st ill cannot be
reached , the tire is too badly damaged and
cannot be repaired with the tire sealant .
Final inspection
.. Stop the vehicle after driving for about 10
m inutes and check the tire pressure .
.. If the tire pressure is lower than 19 PSI
( 1 30 kPA), then the tire is too seve rely dam ­
aged. Do not continue driving . Please seek
professiona l assistance.
