What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit:
• In the first stage, the tire is reinflated with
a sealing compound and air. After the tire
has been inflated, you need to drive the
vehicle about 3.7 mi (6 km) to distribute
the sealant in the tire.
• In the second stage, you need to check
the tire pressure and adjust, if necessary,
to the vehicle's specified tire inflation
pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with
Sealing Compound and Air
WARNING: Do not stand directly
beside the tire while the compressor is
operating. This could cause personal injury
if the tire bursts.
Note: If the tire does not inflate to the
recommended tire pressure within 15
minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.
WARNING: Watch the sidewall of the
tire when inflating. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage appears, switch the
compressor off and let the air out by means
of the pressure relief valve. Do not continue
driving with this tire. This could cause loss
of vehicle control.
WARNING: Do not run the engine
when operating the air compressor unless
the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated
area.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and turn the engine off. Inspect the
flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Use
appropriate precautions to avoid any allergic
reactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by
turning the connector clockwise. Tighten
the connection securely.
