Do not switch off the tire inflation com-

pressor during this phase.

X

Allow the tire inflation compressor to run

for five minutes. The tire should then have

attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa

(1.8 bar/26 psi).

If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has

been attained after five minutes, see "Tire

pressure reached" (

Y

page 330).

If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)

has not been attained after five minutes, see

"Tire pressure not reached" (

Y

page 330).

If tire sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It can

then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,

have them cleaned with perchloroethylene at

a dry cleaner as soon as possible.

Tire pressure not reached

If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has

not been attained after five minutes:

X

Switch off the tire inflation compressor.

X

Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of

the faulty tire.

X

Very slowly drive forwards or reverse

approximately 30 ft (10 m).

X

Pump up the tire again.
After a maximum of five minutes the tire

pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/

26 psi).

WARNING

If the required tire pressure is not reached

after the specified time, the tire is too badly

damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the

tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a tire

pressure that is too low can significantly

impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-

acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified

specialist workshop.

Tire pressure reached

G

WARNING

A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant

impairs the driving characteristics and is not

suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of

accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style

accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed

the specified maximum speed with a tire that

has been repaired using tire sealant.

The maximum speed for a tire sealed with tire

sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part

of the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the

instrument cluster in the driver's field of

vision.

!

Residue from the tire sealant may come

out of the filler hose after use. This could

cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic

bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.

H

Environmental note

Have the used tire sealant bottle disposed of

professionally, e.g. at a qualified specialist

workshop.

If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)

has been attained after five minutes:

X

Switch off the tire inflation compressor.

X

Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of

the faulty tire.

X

Stow the tire sealant bottle and the tire

inflation compressor.

X

Pull away immediately.

X

Stop after driving for approximately ten

minutes and check the tire pressure with

the tire inflation compressor.

The tire pressure must now be at least

130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).

G

WARNING

If the required tire pressure is not reached

after driving for a short period, the tire is too

badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
