Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 18.Stop your vehicle after drivingapproximately two miles (threekilometres). Check, and wherenecessary, adjust the pressure of thedamaged tyre.
19.Attach the kit and read the tyrepressure from the pressure gauge E.
20.Adjust it to the specified pressure.See Technical Specifications(page 164).
21.Once you have inflated the tyre to itscorrect tyre pressure, move thecompressor switch G to position 0,remove the power plug F from thesocket, unscrew the hose C andfasten the valve cap.
22.Leave hose C and H connected to thesealant bottle B and store the kitaway safely.
23.Go to the nearest tyre specialist toget the damaged tyre replaced.Before the tyre is removed from therim, inform your tyre dealer that thetyre contains sealant. You mustrenew the sealant bottle B and hoseC as soon as possible once used.
Note:Remember that emergency roadsidekits only provide temporary mobility.Regulations concerning tyre repair afterusage of the kit may differ from country tocountry. You should consult a tyre specialistfor advice.
WARNING
You must, make sure the tyre isadjusted to the recommendedinflation pressure. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164). You must,monitor the tyre pressure until the sealedtyre is replaced.
Empty sealant bottles can be disposed oftogether with normal household waste.Return remains of sealant to your dealeror dispose of it in compliance with localwaste disposal regulations.
TYRE CARE
To make sure the front and rear tyres ofyour vehicle wear evenly and last longer,we recommend that you swap the tyresfrom front to rear and vice versa at regularintervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles(5000 and 10000 kilometres).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of thetyres when you are parking.
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowlyand approach it with the wheels atright-angles to the curb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreignobjects and uneven wear of the tread.Uneven wear could mean that the wheelalignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including thespare) when cold, every two weeks.

WARNING
When using winter tyres on yourvehicle, you must make sure that youfit the correct type of wheel nuts.
If winter tyres are used, make sure that thetyre pressures are correct. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtyres. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles With Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 103).
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtyre pressure warning. It will notinflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. This may causethe tyres to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by an authoriseddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tyre. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtyre pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 62).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tyre pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 164).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
