frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
four weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.

work), the alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: Switch the
ignition on then off, then disconnect
the vehicle's battery within

Any deviation from the instructions
given in this section may lead to
temporary deactivation or
disturbance of the stop-start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap, and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Ensure that the battery is always replaced by the same type of battery.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle battery replaced by a
workshop.

8. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled
with sealant.
9. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilstthe sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
10. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
11. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within
10 minutes. Tyre pressure
3 304 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, switch off the
compressor.
Do not run the compressor longer than 10 minutes.
Type 1: if the tyre pressure is not
obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. Check tyre pressure
once more. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
If the pressure is obtained within
10 minutes, correct to the
prescribed tyre pressure by using
the compressor to increase or
decrease with the button over the
pressure indicator.
Type 2: remove tyre repair kit and
drive immediately up to 10 km, but
not longer than 10 minutes. Check tyre pressure once more. If the
