Inflating the tyres
The car’s original tyres can be inflated by the
compressor.
– The compressor must be switched off.
Make sure that the switch is in position 0
and locate the cable and air hose.
– Unscrew the wheel’s dust cap and screw
in the air hose valve connection to the
bottom of the thread on the tyre’s air
valve.
– Connect the cable to one of the car’s 12 V
sockets and start the car.
– Start the compressor by flicking the switch
to position I.
– Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure decal. (Release air using
the pressure reducing valve if the tyre
pressure is too high.)
– Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and cable.
– Refit the valve’s dust cap.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine run-
ning in enclosed areas or areas that lack
sufficient ventilation.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.
