WARNING Risk of accident when using
tyre sealant
The tyre sealant may be unable toseal the
tyre proper ly, especially in thefo llowing
cases:
R there are large cuts or punctures in the
tyre (larger than damage pr eviously men‐
tioned)
R the wheel rims ha vebeen damaged
R afte r journe yswith very low tyre pressure
or with flat tyres #
Do not continue driving. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of injury and poisoning
from tyre sealant
Ty re sealant is hazardous tohealth and cau‐
ses ir rita tion. Do not allow it tocome into

The tyre inflation compressor is switched on.
The tyre is inflated. Fir st, tyre sealant is pum‐
ped into the tyre. The pressure may brief ly
ri se toappr oximately 500 kPa (5 bar). Do not switch off
the ty reinflation compres‐
sor during this phase! #
Let the tyre inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of ten minu tes.
The tyre should then ha veattained a tyre
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clean water.
If yo uge t tyre sealant on your clo thing, ha veit
cleaned as soon as possible with per chloroe thy‐
lene.
If, af terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar) has not been attained: #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #

appr oximately 10m. #
Pump up the tyre again.
Af ter a maximum of ten minu tes, the tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar). &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If th e minimum tyre pressure is not reached
af te rth e specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this ins tance.
The braking and driving characteristics may
be great lyimpaired. #

WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the maximum speed
limit with a tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant. #
Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h. #
Affix th e upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
to the instrument clus ter in a location where
it will be easi lyseen bythe driver.
