Emergency puncture repair
07
– Undo the air hose (4) from the tyre’s air
valve and refit the dust cap. Disconnect
the lead (5) from the electrical socket. Fold
the orange-coloured part (7) back into its
original position and secure the catch (6).
Keep the emergency repair kit in a safe
place in the car.
– Immediately drive about 3 km, at a maxi-
mum speed of 80 km/h, to allow the seal-
ing fluid to seal the tyre well.
Check the tyre pressure again:
– Connect the air hose (4) to the air valve on
the tyre. Connect the lead (5) to the 12 V
socket. Read the pressure on the com-
pressor. If the tyre pressure is below
1.3 bar, the tyre has not been sufficiently
well sealed. Under these circumstances
your journey should not be continued.
Contact a tyre centre.
– If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar,
the tyre should be pumped up to the
pressure stated on the tyre pressure label,
for location see page 148. Relieve pres-
sure with the reduction valve (8) if the tyre
pressure is too high.
– Switch off the compressor, the switch (2)
should be in position 0. Detach the air
hose and unplug the lead. Refit the dust
cap.
– Put the lead (5) and air hose (4) into the
side compartment (3).
– Put the puncture repair kit back under the
floor in the cargo area.
The compressor must not run for more than
ten minutes. Let it cool afterwards as there is
a risk of overheating.
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. Be particularly observ-
ant of the tyre walls. If cracks, irregularities
or other damage appears, turn off the com-
pressor immediately. Under these circum-
stances your journey should not continue.
Contact an authorised tyre centre.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. The temporarily sealed tyre must be
changed as soon as possible (maximum
driving distance: 200 km).
NOTE
Do not raise the orange-coloured part (7)
when only the compressor is to be used for
inflation.
NOTE
The canister with sealant and hose should
be replaced after use.
