Sealing and inflating tyres

Sealing a tyre

1. Unscrew the cap from the tyre valve.

2. Use the valve core extractor→ Fig. 1

on the plug is pierced automatically.

5. Remove the plug from the tyre filler hose→ Fig. 1

and place the open end fully on the tyre valve.

6. Hold the bottle upside down and inject theentire contents of the tyre filler bottle into the tyre.

7. Remove the empty tyre filler bottle from the valve.

8. Use the valve core extractor→ Fig. 1

to screw the valve core back into the tyre valve.

Inflating the tyre

1. Screw the tyre filler hose→ Fig. 2

of the air compressor tightly onto the tyre valve.

2. Check that the bleed screw→ Fig. 2

3. Start the engine and let it run.

is closed.

4. Insert the 12-volt plug→ Fig. 2

into one of the vehicle's 12-volt sockets (→ Sockets).

to switch on the air compressor.

5. Use the ON/OFF switch→ Fig. 2

6. Run the air compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0–2.5 bar(29–36 psi/200–250 KPa) →

Maximum run time: 8 minutes→

7. Switch off the air compressor.

8. If a pressure level of 2.0 – 2.5 bar(29 – 36 psi/200 – 250 kPa) cannot be achieved, unscrew the tyre filler hose

from the tyre valve.

9. Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 10 metres so that the sealing compound is more evenly distributed

in the tyre.

10. Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.

11. If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot be sealed with

the breakdown set. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance → Sealing and inflating tyres.

12. Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.

13. Immediately drive on with a speed of no faster than 80 km/h(50 mph) once a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar

(29 – 36 psi/200 – 250 kPa) has been reached.

Check after driving for 10 minutes

1. Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at the next safe opportunity, e.g. a car park.

2. Reconnect the tyre filler hose → Fig. 2

and read the tyre pressure on the tyre pressure display→ Fig. 2

3. 1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa) and lower:

—Do not drive on! The tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set.

—Seek expert assistance→

4. 1.4 bar (20 psi/140 kPa) and higher:

— Adjust the tyre pressure back to the correct value.

—Resume your journey to the nearest qualified workshop. Do not exceed a maximum speed of 80 km/h

(50 mph).

—The damaged tyre should be replaced at the qualified workshop.

WARNING

The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during inflation.

● Protect your hands and skin from the hot components.

● Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot air compressor on any inflammable materials.

● Allow the device to cool down fully before stowing.

● If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0 bar(29 psi/200 kPa), the tyre is too damaged. The sealant is unable to

seal the tyre. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance.

WARNING

If the defective tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set, the tyre will lose air when driving. This

can lead to tyre failure, loss of control of the vehicle, accidents, serious injuries and death.

● Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar(19 psi/130 kPa) or lower after driving for 10 minutes.

● Seek expert assistance.

NOTICE

Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 8 minutes to avoid overheating. Let the air compressor cool down

for a few minutes before switching it back on.

Service work and digital service schedule

The vehicle data sticker attached to the inside cover of this owner's manual helps ensure that you can have the

correct Volkswagen Genuine Parts^®installed in your vehicle whenever required. This data also determines which type

of service applies to your vehicle.

The vehicle data sticker confirms when the vehicle was first registered or delivered, when the pre-delivery inspection

was carried out, and thus the date from which your vehicle is covered by our warranty.

The digital service schedule is not available in some markets. In this case, your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles

dealership will inform you about the service work and documentation of this work.

Storing the service operations performed (“digital service schedule”)

The service records are stored by your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership or qualified workshop in a central

system. This transparent documentation of the service history allows the service operations performed to be

reproduced at any time. Each time you have your vehicle serviced, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends

asking for a printed service record, which contains all service work stored in the system.

With every service, the printout of the previous service record is replaced by a current printout.

Service work

The following information is documented in the digital service schedule by your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles

dealership or qualified workshop:
