8. Plug the cable into the 12 V socket and
start the car.
NOTE
If the compressor is connected to one of
the two 12 V sockets in the tunnel console
then no other current consumer may be
connected to the other one.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
9. Flick the switch to position I.
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the
compressor is running. If cracks or
unevenness arise then the compressor
must be switched off immediately. The
journey should not be continued. Contact-
ing an authorised tyre centre is recom-
mended.
NOTE
When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.
10. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.
11. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Mini-
mum pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum
3.5 bar. (Release air with the pressure
reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too
high.)
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the
hole in the tyre is too big. The journey
should not be continued. Contacting an
authorised tyre centre is recommended.
12. Switch off the compressor and unplug the
cable from the 12 V socket.
13. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and
fit the valve cap.

back over the tyre valve
with the hole against the wheel's hub.
Two clicks confirm that the cover is fitted
in place.
14. As soon as possible, drive approximately
3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.
NOTE
Sealant will spurt out of the puncture dur-
ing the first few rotations of the tyre.
WARNING
Make sure that nobody is standing near
the car and gets the sealing fluid splashed
onto them when the car is driven away.
The distance should be at least two
metres.
