Sticker with the maximum permitted speed “max. 80 km/h” or “max. 50 mph.  
Tyre sealant tube with plug.  
Tyre filler bottle.  
Spare valve core.  
Valve core extractor.  
There is a slot for the valve core on the lower end of the valve core extractor → Fig. 1 5 . This is required for extracting the  
valve core from the tyre valve and then screwing it back into the valve again. This also applies to the spare valve core 4 .  
1. Take the sticker from the breakdown set → Fig. 1 1 and stick it on the dash panel within the driver’s field of vision.  
2. Unscrew the cap from the tyre valve.  
3. Use the valve core extractor → Fig. 1 5 to unscrew the valve core from the tyre valve. Place the core on a clean surface.  
4. Shake the tyre filler bottle → Fig. 1 3 vigorously to and fro several times.  
5. Screw the tyre sealant tube → Fig. 1 2 tightly onto the tyre filler bottle in a clockwise direction. The seal on the top of the  
bottle is pierced when doing so.  
6. Remove the plug from the filler hose → Fig. 1 2 and place the open end fully on the tyre valve.  
7. Hold the bottle upside down and fill the entire contents of the tyre filler bottle into the tyre.  
8. Remove the empty tyre filler bottle from the valve.  
9. Use the valve core extractor → Fig. 1 5 to screw the valve core back into the tyre valve.

Connecting the tyre filler hose.  
The compressor from the breakdown set may be operated from the 12-volt socket, even if the power stated on the type plate  
of the compressor exceeds the maximum power rating of the socket.  
1. Remove the tyre filler hose → Fig. 2 1 from the rear of the compressor.  
2. Insert the tyre filler hose → Fig. 2 1 with the wing nut 2 into the mount for the tyre filler hose 7 so that the wing nut is  
pointing to → Fig. 3.  
3. Turn the wing nut → Fig. 2 2 in clockwise direction until the wing nut is pointing to → Fig. 3.  
4. Screw the tyre filler hose → Fig. 2 1 of the compressor tightly onto the tyre valve.  
5. Start the engine and let it run.  
6. Insert the 12-volt plug → Fig. 2 4 into one of the vehicle’s 12-volt sockets (→ Sockets).  
7. Switch on the compressor with the ON/OFF switch → Fig. 2 6 .  
8. Run the compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi/200 – 250 kPa).  
9. Switch off the compressor.  
If a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPa) cannot be achieved:  
1. Unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.  
2. Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 10 metres (approximately 33 ft) so that the sealing compound is evenly distributed in  
the tyre.  
3. Screw the compressor’s tyre filler hose firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.  
4. 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.
