The tire inflation compressor is switched on .
The tire is inflated.
First ,tires ealan tispumped int othe tire. The
pressur emay briefly ris etoapproximately
50 0k Pa(5.0b ar/7 3psi).
Do not switch off th etirei nflation com -
pressor during this phase .
XLet thetirei nflation compressor run for a
maximum of te nminutes. The tire should then
hav eattained apressur eofatl east 200kPa
(2. 0b ar/29 psi) .
If at irep ressur eof200 kPa( 2.0b ar/29 psi) is
achieved after amaximum of te nminutes, see
(

Tire pressure not reached
Ifat irep ressur eof200 kPa(2.0 bar/29 psi) has
beena chieved after ten minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
faulty tire.
Note that tire sealant may escap ewheny ou
unscrew the filler hose.
XVery slowly drive forwards or reverse approx- imately 30 ft (10 m).
XPump up the tire again.
After amaximu moften minutes ,the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and atire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
Tire pressure reached
GWARNING
At ire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitabl efor higher speeds. There is arisk of
accident.
You should thereforea dapt yourdriving style
accordingly and drive carefully .Donot exceed
the specified maximu mspeedw ithatire that
has beenr epaired using tire sealant.
The maximu mspeedf oratire sealed with tire
sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part of
the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the instru-
ment cluster in the driver's fieldofv ision.
!Residuefrom the tire sealant may come out
of the filler hose after use .This coul dcause
stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic

The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for ashort period, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
