If pressure is not attained, drive vehicle
approx. 394 in (10 m), so that the sealing material is
evenly distributed inside the tire. Reconnect air pump
and inflate tire.

without interruption. Air pump could overheat! After air
pump has cooled off, operate air pump again.

tire is too severely damaged for TIREFIT to provide
a reliable tire repair.
In this case TIREFIT can not properly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
