sure specified in paragraph “Inflation

fications”.
Check tyre pressure on gauge F-fig.

❒ if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the seal-
ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-
peat the inflation operation;
❒ If after this operation it is still impossi-
ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8

tion “Technical Specifications”, start
