To do so, connect the air hose on the compressor directly to the valve on the tire. If the pressure is greater than 19 psi (1.3 bar), adjust it to the recommended value, see page 291. It may be necessary to check the pressure a number of times on the way to a workshop. If the pressure falls below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not drive the car any further but call for assistance. The most likely reason for a drop in pressure is probably that the damage to the tire is too extensive to be repaired with the repair kit. 20 Return the repair kit to its designated place. 265 If the correct pressure is not reached within 10 minutes, the damage to the tire is too large to be repaired with the sealant. Park the car in a suitable place and call for assistance. If the tire pressure becomes too high, it can be reduced by pressing the button by the pressure gauge on the compressor. Do not run the compressor for more than 10 minutes. 14 Assemble the repair kit and return it to its designated place in the luggage compartment. 15 Wipe away any sealant that may have leaked out with a rag. 16 Put back the warning triangle. 17 Affix the label in the kit showing the maximum permitted speed so that it is clearly visible to the driver. There are four adapters on the underside of the compressor which allow the compressor to be used to inflate other items such as bicycle tires, air mattresses and footballs.
