The kit should not be operated for more

than 15 consecutive minutes.

– store the kit;

– start the engine straight away and,

after driving a maximum of approx-

imately 2 miles (3 kilometres) or

10 minutes, stop and check the

pressure using the inflation kit. If it is

above 1.3 bar, adjust it to the rec-

ommended pressure (refer to the

label affixed to the edge of the driv-

er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-

proved dealer: repair is not possible.

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed 48

mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which

you must affix in a prominent posi-

tion on the dashboard, reminds you

of this.

note: after using the inflation kit, you

should visit an approved Dealer to re-

place the inflation hose and the bottle

of repair product.

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;

– close the integrated cap on the bottle

again;

– disconnect adapter 8;

Depending on the country or local

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

tyre pressure kit will need to be re-

placed.

Nothing should be placed

around the driver’s feet

as such objects may slide

under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and

obstruct their use.

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make

the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them

fully.
