222 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
(Continued)
2. Insert the power plug into the vehicle
power outlet socket. Start the vehicle
engine.
3. Push the Tire Service Kit power button to
the “I” position. The electric compressor
will be turned on, sealant and air will inflate
the tire.
Minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) of pressure should
be reached within 20 minutes. If the pres-
sure has not been reached turn off and re-
move the Tire Service Kit, drive the vehicle
30 feet (10 meters) back and forth, to better
distribute the sealant inside the tire.
4. Attach the clear flexible filling tube of the
compressor directly to the tire valve and
repeat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been
reached, start driving the vehicle to uni-
formly distribute the sealant inside the tire.
After 10 minutes, stop and check the tire
pressure. If the pressure is below 19 psi
(1.3 bar), do not drive the vehicle, as the
tire is too damaged, and contact the near-
est authorized dealer.
NOTE:
The sealant is effective with external temperatures
of between -40°F (-40°C) to 131°F (+55°C). The
sealant has an expiry date. It is possible to repair
tires which have been damaged on tread up to a
diameter of 6mm. Show the cartridge and the label
to the personnel charged with handling the tire
treated with th tire repair kit.
If the pressure is at 19 psi (1.3 bar) or above
repeat the inflation process to reach the cor-
rect tire pressure and continue driving.
5. Peel off the warning label from the bottle
and place it on the dashboard as a
reminder to the driver that the tire has
been treated with Tire Service Kit.
Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Service Kit.

vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough off
the road to avoid the danger of being hit
when using the Tire Service Kit.

under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is approxi-
mately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving
with extremely low tire pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving
on a flat tire.
