X Press on/off switch ? on the tire inflation
compressor to ON.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
i First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire.
The pressure can briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of ten minutes. The tire should
then have attained a pressure of at least
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
is achieved after a maximum of ten minutes,
see (
Y
page 296).
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
is not achieved after a maximum of ten
minutes, see (
Y
page 295).
i If tire sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It
can then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,
have them cleaned with perchloroethylene
at a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi)
has not been achieved after ten minutes:
