Set up the warning triangle if emergency tyre
repairs must be carried out in an area where
there is other traffic.
– Remove the decal (1) regarding the highest
permitted speed from the emergency
puncture repair kit and stick it on the
steering wheel where it can be clearly
seen by the driver.
– Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in
position 0 and take out the lead (5) and air
hose (4) from the side compartment (3).
– Screw the air hose’s valve connection to
the bottom of the thread on the tyre’s air
valve.
– Connect the lead (5) to one of the car’s
12 V sockets.
– Release the safety catch (6) and turn the
orange-coloured part (7) 90 degrees to the
vertical position, until a click is heard.
– Start the engine. The car must be in a wellventilated
place.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine running
in sealed areas or areas that lack sufficient
ventilation.
– Start the compressor by flicking the
switch (2) to position I. There will be a
temporary pressure increase of max. 4 bar
while the sealing fluid is pumped in. After
approx. one minute, the pressure will drop
and the gauge will indicate the correct tyre
pressure.
– Pump the tyre to a pressure of between
1.8 bar and 3.5 bar. If the pressure does
not reach 1.8 bar after ten minutes of
pumping, the compressor should be
turned off so it does not overheat.
