The tire inflation hose and air compressor can get hot during inflation.
Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
Do not place the hot tire inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable material.
Let the equipment cool off almost completely before stowing it.
If the tire cannot be inflated to at least 29 psi (200 kPa), the damage is too great to be repaired with the tire mobility set. The sealant is not able to seal the
tire. Do not drive the vehicle. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer, authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or other qualified workshop for
assistance.
NOTE
Do not let the compressor run for more than 8 minutes to help prevent overheating and damage. Let the compressor cool down for a few minutes before
switching it on again. Let it cool down almost completely before stowing it in the repair kit.
