At a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, the journey can be continued at a
maximum speed of 80 km/h or 50 mph.
WARNING
■
If the tyre does not inflate to at least 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The
sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. Do not drive the vehicle.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
■
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-
ing inflated – there is a risk of burning.
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor at the latest after the running time according to
the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer has elapsed – otherwise there is
the risk of compressor damage! Allow the air compressor to cool a few mi-
nutes before switching it on again.
Information on driving with repaired tyres
Read and observe on page 214 first.
The inflation pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked after driving for 10
minutes.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or less
›
The tyre cannot be properly sealed with the breakdown kit.
Do not con-
tinue to drive! Seek help from a specialist garage.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or more
›
Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value » page 206.
›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre. The following guidelines must be observed.
■
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
