2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If the tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar
13
then the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The
journey should not be continued. Call
roadside assistance for recovery.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than
1.3 bar
13
, the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure specified in accordance with the
tyre pressure table, see Tyres - approved
tyre pressures (p. 429).
•
Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.
3. If the tyre needs to be inflated:
1. Plug the electrical cable into the closest
12 V socket and start the car.
2. Start the compressor and inflate the tyre
to the pressure specified in accordance
with the tyre pressure table.
3. Switch off the compressor.
4. Remove the tyre sealing equipment.
Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order
to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing
fluid.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with
a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
5. Refit the dust cap on the tyre.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always refit
the dust cap in order to avoid damage to
the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.

Press one edge of the cover (without the
hole) into place (nearest the tyre - B). Then
fold the cover in toward the wheel rim - and
at the same time, gently press down the
angled top edge in order to help it in under
the edge of the wheel rim. Check that the
cover is flush with the surface of the wheel
rim - if not, gently press in the part that is
bulging out.
