Emergency puncture repair kit - inflating the tyres
The car's original tyres can be inflated using the compressor in the emergency puncture repair kit.
The compressor must be switched off. Make sure that the switch is in position 0 and locate the cable and air hose.
Remove the valve cover1 - for instructions on removing the valve cover, see Emergency puncture repair - operation.
Unscrew the wheel's dust cap and screw in the air hose valve connection to the bottom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.
Warning
Inhaling car exhaust fumes could result in danger to life. Never leave the engine running in sealed areas or areas that lack sufficient ventilation.
Warning
Do not leave children in the car without supervision when the engine is running.
Connect the cable to one of the car's 12 V sockets and start the car.
Start the compressor by flicking the switch to position I.
Important
Risk of overheating. The compressor must not run for more than 10 minutes.
Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in accordance with the tyre pressure table, see Tyres - approved tyre pressures. Release air using the pressure reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.
Refit the dust cap.
Refit the valve cover1 by pressing one edge of the cover (the one without the hole) into place (nearest the tyre), see Emergency puncture repair - rechecking. Then fold the cover in toward the wheel rim - and at the same time, gently press down the angled top edge in order to help it in under the edge of the wheel rim. Check that the cover is flush with the surface of the wheel rim - if not, gently press in the part that is bulging out.
Switch off the compressor. Detach the air hose and cable.
