14 Assemble the repair kit and return it to its
designated place in the luggage compartment.
15 Wipe away any sealant that may have
leaked out with a rag.
16 Put back the warning triangle.
17 Affix the label in the kit showing the
maximum permitted speed so that it
is clearly visible to the driver.
18 Drive off immediately so that the sealant
is distributed evenly around the tyre.
19 Stop after approximately 6 miles
(10 km) or 10 minutes (whichever
occurs first) and check the tyre pressure.
To do so, connect the air hose on
the compressor directly to the valve on
the tyre.
If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
(19 psi), adjust it to the recommended
value, see page 245. It may be necessary
to check the pressure a number of
times on the way to a workshop.
If the pressure falls below 1.3 bar
(19 psi), do not drive the car any further
but call for assistance.
The most likely reason for a drop in pressure
is probably that the damage to the
tyre is too extensive to be repaired with
the repair kit.
20 Return the repair kit to its designated
place.
There are four adapters on the underside of
the compressor which allow the compressor
to be used to inflate other items such as
bicycle tyres, air mattresses and footballs.
