Emergency puncture repair kit -
inflating the tyres
The car's original tyres can be inflated using the
compressor in the emergency puncture repair kit
(p. 351).
1. The compressor must be switched off. Make
sure that the switch is in position 0 (Off) and
take out the electrical cable and air hose.
2. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap and screw in the
air hose's valve connection to the bottom of
the thread on the tyre's air valve.
3. Plug the electrical cable into the closest
12 V socket and start the car.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes could result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine running
in sealed areas or areas that lack sufficient
ventilation.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
4. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to
position I (On).
IMPORTANT
The compressor must not be operated for
longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheating.
5. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in
accordance with the tyre pressure table, see
Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 438).
Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.
6. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and the electrical cable.
7. Refit the dust cap on the tyre.
